  1. Verify that each patient is represented in an Account record.
  2. Verify that the Purchaser Plan object is populated with information about the coverage plans that are available to your users.
    The Verifiable field must be set to True, and the Plan Type field must be populated.
  3. Verify that each patient is connected with a coverage set using a Member Plan record.
    This is where the information that's visible to the user comes from. For best results, make sure these fields are populated:
    UI Field Source Field Sample Data
    Member Plan Name MemberPlan.Name Plan 1
    Member Number MemberPlan.MemberNumber MN1234
    Group Member MemberPlan.GroupNumber GN4321
    Effective From MemberPlan.EffectiveFrom "Jan 1, 2020"
    Effective To MemberPlan.EffectiveTo "Dec 31, 2021"
    Relationship to Subscriber MemberPlan.RelationshipToSubscriber Self
  4. Create an Identifier record where the Parent Record is the value of the Payer field on the MemberPlan object.
  5. Populate the Code Set object with the Service Type Codes you need.
    You can have up to 180 codes. See the X12 Service Type Codes reference for a full list.
    1. In the Code Set object, add a value to the Code Set Type picklist field for service type codes.
      Call it something descriptive, like Service Type Codes for Benefit Verification.
    2. Create service type codes by selecting the picklist value in the Code Set Type field.
