Chris Ellenberger If I understand this correctly, client want to enrollment dependents of retired employees in COBRA plans but not the employee. As per my understanding we need to add these dependents as employees of the system to achieve the same. This cannot be handle with the event builder.

Cindy Wibbing Please comment if you think otherwise.

Debbie can provide her help on the same because she must have encounter such scenario before.

Hi Chris,

As per our understanding,

to create medicare cobra event builder we can use employee age, like from employee age less than 66 to greater than equal to 66

This event will track all employees who will loose benefits due to age crosses 65, but problem here is, it will apply these event to all member who were enrolled into plan including employee, and it will transmit both employee and child for medicare event as it processed all dropped members for this event.

We can make medicare cobra event name as blank using data transformation for employee row but we can not avoid employee row for this event as per current implementation.

Please let us know if you have questions on this. Thanks.

Hello,

We need to report only the dependents per the broker and vendor. Can i request an enhancement to cover this scenario. I am sure it will arise again. I suspect we need a way to achieve through old and new approach for COBRA.

Should i open a new ticket for this? Please advise.

Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,

Yes, we need to create a new ticket and you can refer this ticket on that.

As of now, we have already planned current ( sprint 25) and next sprint ( sprint 26). This will be taken under next to next sprint ( 27 ) which will start from 10th April. Hope this is fine.
