    Skip Past Event Indicates whether you want to skip any event if the calculated trigger date for the event is past dated.
    Eligibility Rule Type Indicates the rule type eligibility for the delinquency process type.
    Note:

    To define the rule type eligibility, you need to do the following:

    • Define the required parameters using the following source entities:
      • Account

      • Health Plan

      • Health Product

      • Person

      and set the parameter usage to Rule Eligibility Criteria.
    • Define a rule type where the rule type usage is set to Delinquency Process Event Eligibility.

    • Define a rule using the rule type with a parameter configured using the above source entities.

    For example, you configure a parameter (created using the Health Plan source entity) within a rule type and create a rule using the respective rule type. When the C1-DPEVL batch is executed, the system invokes the rules engine for each health plan associated with the memberships which are derived using the membership derivation algorithm. If the rules engine returns with a Success status at least for one health plan, the system includes the configured event in the delinquency process, else the event is deleted from the delinquency process.

    Once the C1-ACDLQ batch is executed, the system adds all the events irrespective of eligibility in the delinquency process, and later on the C1-DPEVL batch evaluates the eligibility for each event.

    Send Membership Level Notification Source Indicates the source from where the send membership level notification information is received. The valid values are:
    • Algorithm

    • Delinquency Process Type

    Note:

    You need to configure the Derive Send Member Level Notification based on Business Rules (C1-DERMLNBR) algorithm in the delinquency process type, if you select the Algorithm option from the Send Membership Level Notification Source field.

    This field is not applicable for Individual Delinquency purposes.

    Send Membership Level Notification Indicates whether you want to send membership level notification when customer contacts are created as part of the events in the delinquency process created using the delinquency process type. The valid values are:
    • Send Membership Level Notification Required

    • Send Membership Level Notification Not Required

    Note:

    You need to execute the Create Member Level Notifications (C1-MBRNT) batch to derive the list of memberships for the delinquent person or account.

    This field is not applicable for Individual Delinquency purposes.

    Note: You need to configure the Derive Grace Period based on Business Rules (C1-DERGRBR) algorithm in the delinquency process type, if you select the Algorithm option from the Grace Period Source field.
    Grace Period (Days) Displays the number of days which are used to define the grace period end date for the delinquency process.
    Note:
    For example, if a delinquency process contains bills with the latest bill due date as 01-Jan-2023, the system considers the latest bill due date as the grace period start date which is 01-Jan-2023. Now, if you have configured the grace period as 30 days, the system determines the grace period end date as 31-Jan-2023 by using the following formula:
    Grace Period End Date = Grace Period Start Date + Grace Period
    Grace Start Date Basis Indicates the option based on which the grace date calculation is performed. The valid values are:
    • Delinquency Process Creation Date

    • Latest Bill Due Date

    • X Days after Latest Bill Due Date

    Note: The grace start date basis is used as the base date for performing the grace period calculation.
    Add Days To Due Date Displays the number of days by which the due date gets extended and is further used for calculating the grace end date.
    Note:
    For example, if the grace period start date is set as 01-Jan-2023 and you have configured the add days to due date as 7 days, the system adds the add days to due date to the grace period start date. Therefore, the new grace period start date is now set as 08-Jan-2023. The system then combines the grace period start date with the grace period to calculate the grace period end date using the following formula:
    Grace Period End Date = Grace Period Start Date + Grace Period
  • Termination and Reinstatement Configuration - This section lists the termination and reinstatement configuration defined for the delinquency process type. It contains the following fields:

    Field Name Field Description

    This field is not applicable for Individual Delinquency purposes.

    Reinstatement Threshold Displays the value based on which the automatic reinstatement takes place.
    Note:

    The percentage of the amount paid must be greater than or equal to the threshold percentage based on which automatic reinstatement takes place.

    This field is not applicable for Individual Delinquency purposes.

    Days Since Termination Displays the number of days since the termination effective date for automatic reinstatement to take place.
    Note:

    If you configure the days since termination as 10 days for automatic reinstatement, the system adds days since termination to the termination effective date irrespective of whether termination effective date is elapsed or not. If the termination effective date is elapsed, the system does not perform the automatic reinstatement. In this case, you have to manually conduct the reinstatement process.

    The automatic reinstatement process is triggered only within the certain number of days once the termination has taken place.

    This field is not applicable for Individual Delinquency purposes.

    Membership Notification Days Source Indicates the source from where the membership notification days information is received. The valid values are:
    • Algorithm

    • Delinquency Process Type

    Note:

    You need to configure the Derive Member Notification Days based on Business Rules (C1-DERMNDAYS) algorithm in the delinquency process type, if you select the Algorithm option from the Membership Notification Days Source field.

    This field is not applicable for Individual Delinquency purposes.

    Member Notification Days Displays the number of days after which the member receives notification.
    Note: This field is not applicable for Individual Delinquency purposes.
    Note: This section appears only when the Automatic Termination and Reinstatement Required checkbox is selected. At present, the automatic reinstatement process is not applicable for individual delinquency purposes, hence this section displays fields related to automatic termination such as Termination Reinstatement Configuration Source, Trigger Termination Process, and Termination Wait Days.
  • Termination Date Rule Priority - This section lists the priority and termination date rule defined for the delinquency process type. It contains the following columns:

    Column Name Column Description
    Priority Displays the order in which the termination date rule is considered while defining a delinquency process type.
    Note:

    The system selects the termination date rule which has the highest priority.

    For example, let us assume that an individual customer exists in the system with different memberships, where the membership attributes are responsible to retrieve the termination date rules. If you want to terminate an individual customer who has different memberships, the system requires a termination date rule which calculates the termination effective date for the termination process.

    Now, the system goes through multiple memberships and derives different termination date rules for different memberships, making it difficult to select a particular termination date rule to calculate the termination effective date. Here, the system derives the priority sequence of each rule, and selects the termination date rule which has the highest priority.

    Termination Date Rule Indicates the termination date rule used for calculating the termination effective date.
    Note: This section appears only when the Automatic Termination and Reinstatement Required option is selected.
  • Termination Reasons For Automatic Reinstatement - This section lists the termination reasons defined for automatic reinstatement in the delinquency process type. It contains the following column:

    Column Name Column Description
    Termination Reason Indicates the reason which is specified during the termination process.
    Note:

    The automatic reinstatement takes place only when a reason is specified during the termination process, and the specified reason appears in the Termination Reason list. If the specified reason does not appear in the Termination Reason list, you have to manually perform the reinstatement process.

    This field is not applicable for individual delinquency purposes.

    Note: This section appears only when the Automatic Termination and Reinstatement Required option is selected.
  • Trigger Date Recalculation Configuration - This section lists the termination reasons defined for automatic reinstatement in the delinquency process type. It contains the following fields:

    Field Name Field Description
    Trigger Date Recalculation On Hold Release Source Indicates the source for recalculating the trigger date once the hold request is released. The valid values are:
    • Algorithm

    • Delinquency Process Type

    Note: You need to configure the Derive Recalculate Trigger Date option based on Business Rules (C1-DERRTDBR) algorithm in the delinquency process type, if you select the Algorithm option from the Trigger Date Recalculation On Hold Release Source field.
    Trigger Date Recalculation On Hold Release Indicates whether you want to recalculate the trigger date once the hold request is released. The valid values are:
    • Yes

    • No

    Trigger Date Recalculation On Resume Source Indicates the source for recalculating the trigger date once the hold request is resumed. The valid values are:
    • Algorithm

    • Delinquency Process Type

    Note: You need to configure the Derive Recalculate Trigger Date option based on Business Rules (C1-DERRTDBR) algorithm in the delinquency process type, if you select the Algorithm option from the Trigger Date Recalculation On Resume Source field.
    Trigger Date Recalculation On Resume Indicates whether you want to recalculate the trigger date once the hold request is resumed. The valid values are:
    • Yes

    • No

    Note: The system conducts trigger date recalculation in the following scenarios:
    • When the delinquency process is kept on hold for certain days and is later released either on hold end date or through manual intervention, the system determines the total number of days (hold days) the delinquency process was kept on hold. The system adds the calculated days to the trigger date which was calculated earlier and calculates the trigger date once again. This recalculated trigger date is used to trigger those events which were not triggered as the delinquency process was kept on hold.

    • When you make a payment against a bill for which a delinquency process is created, the system cancels the delinquency process. If the payment made against a bill gets canceled due to any reason after some days, the system checks whether there are any overdue bills for the respective account. If the overdue bills exist, the delinquency process which was canceled earlier is resumed. Once the delinquency process is resumed, the system determines the total number of days (extra days) the delinquency process was in canceled state. The system adds the extra days to the trigger date which was calculated earlier and calculates the trigger date once again. This recalculated trigger date is used to trigger those events which were not triggered as the delinquency process was canceled.
