DESIGN NOTES
There is a rule that the SP can only have one "current" Medicare
Managed Care plan at the time of the interview.
BOX HISMC1 is called if the MHMO selected at HISMC2 is reported as
"current" at the time of the previous round interview at HISMC2 ­
HISMHMOCURR.
The purpose of BOX HISMC1 is determine if there is another MHMO
flagged as "current" at the time of the previous round interview. Should
only expect to find one "other" MHMO, if it exists.
If another MHMO is flagged as "current" at the time of the previous round
interview, BOX HISMC1 is routed to HISMC3 - HISMHMOCHNG to
determine if the "other" MHMO's status has changed.

BOX INSTRUCTIONS
( HIS1575 )

CREATE MEDICAID PLAN IN THE PREVIOUS ROUND .
GO TO HIS6 - COVTIME ( HIS1580 ).

ASSIGNMENTS
Medicaid details will be collected on PLAN and PLRO:

PLAN key = PLAN.PLANBASE + PLAN.PLANNUM

PLAN.PLANNUM = Number of Medicaid plan identified or created in HIS.

PLRO key = PLRO.PLROBASE + PLRO.PLROPLAN + PLRO.PLRORND

PLRO.PLROPLAN = PLAN.PLANNUM of Medicaid plan identified or created in HIS.

PLRO.PLRORND = previous round.

CREATE MEDICAID PLAN IN THE PREVIOUS ROUND:

If there is a PLAN where PLAN.PLANTYPE=2/Medicaid, regardless if 

PLAN.PLANDFLG=1/Yes or LOSEPLFG ^= empty, this stopped Medicaid plan will be

restarted. See detailed instructions below.

Else if there is no PLAN where PLAN.PLANTYPE=2/Medicaid, create a new PLAN where

PLAN.PLANNUM equals the next sequential plan number.

Regardless if PLAN is new or restarted, create a previous round PLRO where

PLRO.PLROPLAN = this PLAN.PLANNUM if it does not already exist. Collect HIS6 and

remaining PLAN details on this previous round PLRO.

See detailed instructions below:

PLANNUM	

If creating a new PLAN, set PLAN.PLANNUM =
highest PLAN.PLANNUM + 01.

PLANRNDC	

If creating a new PLAN, set PLAN.PLANRNDC =
current round.

PLANTYPE	

If creating a new PLAN, set PLAN.PLANTYPE =
2/Medicaid.

PLNAME	

If creating a new PLAN, set PLNAME = "MEDICAID".

PLANSUMM	

If creating a new PLAN, set PLAN.PLANSUMM =
1/Yes.

PLANDFLG	

If restarting an existing MEDICAID plan and
PLAN.PLANDLFG=1/Yes, update PLAN.PLANDFLG
= empty.

LOSEPLFG	

If restarting an existing MEDICAID plan and
PLAN.LOSEPLFG ^= empty, update
PLAN.LOSEPLFG = empty.

PLROPLAN	

If creating a previous round PLRO, set
PLRO.PLROPLAN = this PLAN.PLANNUM.

PLRORND	

If creating a previous round PLRO, set
PLRO.PLRORND = previous round.

Tricare details will be collected on PLAN and PLRO:

PLAN key = PLAN.PLANBASE + PLAN.PLANNUM

PLAN.PLANNUM = Number of Tricare plan identified or created in HIS.

PLRO key = PLRO.PLROBASE + PLRO.PLROPLAN + PLRO.PLRORND

CREATE TRICARE PLAN IN THE PREVIOUS ROUND:

If there is a PLAN where PLAN.PLANTYPE=6/Tricare, regardless if 

PLAN.PLANDFLG=1/Yes or LOSEPLFG ^= empty, this stopped Tricare plan will be

restarted. See detailed instructions below.

Else if there is no PLAN where PLAN.PLANTYPE=6/Tricare, create a new PLAN where

PLAN.PLANNUM equals the next sequential plan number.

Regardless if PLAN is new or restarted, create a previous round PLRO where

PLRO.PLROPLAN = this PLAN.PLANNUM if it does not already exist. Collect HIST1 and

remaining PLAN details on this previous round PLRO.

See detailed instructions below:

PLANNUM	

If creating a new PLAN, set PLAN.PLANNUM =
highest PLAN.PLANNUM + 01.

PLANRNDC	

If creating a new PLAN, set PLAN.PLANRNDC =
current round.

PLANTYPE	

If creating a new plan, set PLAN.PLANTYPE =

PLAN.LOSEPLFG ^= empty, update
PLAN.LOSEPLFG = empty.

PLROPLAN	

If creating a previous round PLRO, set
PLRO.PLROPLAN = this PLAN.PLANNUM.
