Help Merative prioritize your ideas and requests

The Merative team may need your help to refine the ideas so they may ask for more information or feedback. The offering manager team will then decide if they can begin working on your idea. If they can start during the next development cycle, they will put the idea on the priority list. Each team at Merative works on a different schedule, where some ideas can be implemented right away, others may be placed on a different schedule.

Status Not under consideration
Created by Sigitas Jakucionis
Created on Sep 18, 2020

Certification Period should not span for more than 12 months

Our request is to have a hook to specifically disable the ProgramGroupManagerImpl.alignPrograms() method invocation in the OOTB Manage Program Group flow which is invoked during reassessments. This invocation overrides the customizations done in the Product Managers where new PDCs are created and the certification start and end dates are specified. It does not help that the OOTB flow overrides the cert. start date on a new QHP PDC from, say, 1/1/2020 to some other date in the past after all the custom logic has been executed to determine 1/1/2020 as the certification start date.
The program group alignment logic should continue to be allowed to be invoked in other scenarios like when transitioning from public program to private program due to a change in circumstance. It adds value in those scenarios. Currently MN code does use case groups and program alignment utility API in rules(Statics class) so we should continue to be able to invoke the program group alignment logic from custom code.

The hook should be applicable to all product types – MA/QHP/State Basic Health Plan(referred to as Minnesota Care/MCRE in MN)

With regards to the limit on adjustment of start date, currently in MN:-
- The maximum retroactive coverage allowed is 90 days(3 months) for MA
- In some appeals scenarios, programs may give past eligibility up to 12 months in the same certification period.

Therefore we don't see any reason to allow certification period start date to be moved back to more than 12 months in the past.

(Support case WH00010257 , METS defect number RTC 38651)

    Hi Sigitas,

    We have reviewed your enhancement suggestion and require more information to properly understand the issue and the business scenario you are trying to support.

    Out of the box functionality is working as it does to ensure there are no gaps in eligibility and therefore our initial thoughts on this would be that such a hook is problematic because it breaks the OOTB attempt at addressing gaps in eligibility. Have gaps in eligibility been considered, or are there alternative plans for how you would prevent or address that concern?

    Please provide the requested information within 30 days so we may proceed with our evaluation. If we do not hear from you within that timeframe we will have to close the request due to insufficient information.

    Thank you,
    Shane McFadden, SPM Offering Management team
