CMS-10877 Eligibility Results Toolkit - Phase 3

OMB Control #: 0938-NEW
Expiration Date: XX/XX/20XX
Eligibility Results Toolkit - Phase 3
Purpose of This Toolkit
This document is designed to help Enhanced Direct Enrollment (EDE) Auditors ensure that the application returns accurate eligibility results for specific consumer scenarios. Each test case is
phase-specific, and describes a consumer scenario that must be supported by an EDE application. Auditors should complete each test case by using the information provided to complete an
application through the EDE Entity's user interface (UI). Some information collected by the UI (e.g., phone numbers, contact method preferences, language preferences) is not specified in
the test data. In these cases, Auditors may enter any value or skip optional inputs unless otherwise noted in the test case. The application must display all appropriate application questions
to the Auditor and provide the opportunity to enter the test case information into the application. After all of the information from the test case is entered into the application and the
application is submitted, the Auditor must verify that the eligibility results returned match the expected eligibility results provided in the test case, which is reflected in the Marketplace
Eligibility Determination Notice (EDN) and should be correctly conveyed in the entity's Eligibility Results Page (ERP).
Documentation Requirements
Phase 3 entities must submit complete eligibility application UI screenshots only for the Phase 3 Eligibility Results Toolkit (ERT). Phase 3 entities must submit EDNs and unparsed JSONs for
all test cases it completes in the Phase 1, 2, and 3 ERTs. Please review row 15 of this tab for more information about naming files.
Required Completion Rate
Auditors must conduct all possible test cases. However, depending on the Entity's intended service areas, Auditors may not be able to conduct a test case because the Entity does not intend
to operate in the specific state(s) provided in the test case. Auditors must conduct a minimum number of test cases from each toolkit it completes. Auditors conducting Phase 1 audits must
submit at least 11 of 14 Phase 1 test cases. Auditors conducting Phase 2 audits must submit at least 8 of 14 Phase 1 test cases AND 6 of 9 Phase 2 test cases. Auditors conducting Phase 3
audits must submit at least 8 of 14 Phase 1 test cases AND 5 of 9 Phase 2 test cases AND 7 of 9 Phase 3 test cases. If an Auditor is not able to conduct the minimum number of test cases for
each toolkit because of the Entity's planned service areas, it must email DE Support to request instructions to modify test cases so that the Auditor is able to conduct and submit the
minimum number of test cases.
Note:
Each phase-specific set of eligibility results test scenarios are contained within separate toolkits (e.g., there is a Eligibility Results Toolkit specific to Phase 1).

scenario defined in the subsequent tabs. The Auditor must carefully examine the
"Eligibility Results" section of each "Test Case" input tab prior to confirming the
EDE Entity's compliance with each test case.
Note: Auditors for Phase 1 EDE applications must complete all Phase 1 test case
scenarios, if possible. If an entity does not intend to operate in the specific
state(s) provided in the test case, Auditors must submit at least 11 of 14 Phase 1
test cases.

EDE Entity's compliance with each test case.
Note: Auditors for Phase 2 EDE applications must complete all Phase 2 test case
scenarios, as well as the following test cases from Phase 1: 1.A, 1.B, 1.C, 1.D, 1.E,
1.F, 1.K, 1.L, 1.M, 1.N, 1.O (not 1.D.2, 1.H, 1.J which are Phase 1 only test cases),
if possible. If an entity does not intend to operate in the specific state(s)
provided in the test case, Auditors must submit at least 8 of 14 Phase 1 test
cases AND 6 of 9 Phase 2 test cases. Note that because Phase 2 supports more
consumer scenarios than Phase 1, some information that is gathered via
screening questions for a Phase 1 application is asked as an application question
for a Phase 2 application. For instance, pregnancy status is included in Phase 1
screening questions, but will be included as an application question in Phase 2
applications.

PRA DISCLOSURE: According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to respond to a collection of
information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. The valid OMB control number for this information collection is 0938NEW, expiration date is XX/XX/20XX. The time required to complete this information collection is estimated to take up to
144,652 hours annually for all direct enrollment entities. If you have comments concerning the accuracy of the time estimate(s)
or suggestions for improving this form, please write to: CMS, 7500 Security Boulevard, Attn: PRA Reports Clearance Officer,

scenario defined in the subsequent tabs. The Auditor must carefully examine the
"Eligibility Results" section of each "Test Case" input tab prior to confirming the
EDE Entity's compliance with each test case.
Note: Auditors for Phase 3 EDE applications must complete all Phase 3 test case
scenarios, as well as the following test cases from Phase 1 and Phase 2: 1.A, 1.B,
1.C, 1.D, 1.E, 1.F, 1.K, 1.L, 1.M, 1.N, 1.O (not 1.D.2, 1.H, 1.J which are Phase 1 only
test cases) and 2.A, 2.B, 2.B.2, 2.D, 2.E, 2.E.2, 2.F and 2.G (not 2.H which is a
Phase 2 only test case), if possible. If an Entity does not intend to operate in the
specific state(s) provided in the test case, Auditors must submit at least 8 of 14
Phase 1 test cases AND 5 of 9 Phase 2 test cases AND 7 of 9 Phase 3 test cases.
Note that because Phase 3 supports all consumer scenarios, Phase 3 does not
have screening questions. Therefore, information that is gathered via screening
question for a Phase 1 or Phase 2 application is asked as an application question
for a Phase 3 application. For instance, American Indian or Alaska Native status is
included in Phase 1 and 2 screening questions, but will be included as an
application question in Phase 3 applications.

Test Case Input Tabs (e.g., Test Case 3.A input, Test
Case 3.B input)

Each test case input tab details the eligibility
application answers to test the eligibility
determination through the EDE pathway.

Auditors should use each tab to complete an eligibility application with the
answers detailed in the tab. Upon receiving an eligibility determination through
the EDE Pathway, the Auditor should confirm that the eligibility results from the
EDE Pathway are identical to the "Eligibility Results" included at the end of each
test case. The Auditor must take screenshots of the eligibility application process
while progressing through the test case, including a screenshot of the ERP, and
also store the EDN and provide the EDN to CMS (if applicable). The Auditor must
also submit the Get App API response (JSON) from each test case. The Auditor
should name the screenshot files sequentially and clearly identify them as
belonging to a specific test case (e.g., TestCase3A-1, TestCase3A-2). Similarly,
the Auditor should name the JSON files to clearly identify them as belonging to a
specific test case (e.g., TestCase3A-JSON). CMS strongly recommends that
Auditors sequentially aggregate the screenshots in a single document for each
test case (e.g., a Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or PDF document with each
image labelled “TestCase3-A”) instead of submitting each screenshot as an
individually saved image (e.g., TestCase3A-1.jpg, TestCase3A-2.jpg). This may
help expedite CMS’s audit review.

Audit Requirements by Tab
Tab: Phase 3
In this tab, the Auditor must scroll to the right to complete the last six columns whose column headings are shaded in yellow or marked with "**."
Columns
Test Case ID

Description
Test Case ID that corresponds to each input tab.

State

List of state(s) for testing that corresponds to each
input tab.

Summary/Criteria
Expected Results/What's Tested

Summary of test data for each test case.
Summary of tested functionalities and expected
results for each test case.

Test Scenario Description

Summary description of the test case.

How to Review
The Auditor must match the Test Case ID in the "Phase 3" tab to the
corresponding Test Case ID input tab, and use information from both tabs to
complete the audit.
The Auditor must use an approved state (i.e., the state or one of the states
provided for each test case) to complete each test case.
The Auditor may use this summary information to inform the audit.
As stated above, the Auditor must carefully examine the "Eligibility Results"
section of each "Test Case" input tab prior to confirming the EDE Entity's
compliance with each test case.
The Auditor may use this summary information to inform the audit.

Auditor Compliance Conclusion**

The Auditor must provide a conclusion as to whether
the scenario or requirement defined in each row is
compliant with the CMS requirements. A
compliance conclusion should be indicated as "Yes"
or "No."

The Auditor will use the test case eligibility details from the Test Case input tabs
to complete the EDE Entity's eligibility application. Upon completing the
eligibility application, the Auditor will verify that the eligibility results on the EDE
Entity's website match the eligibility results defined at the end of each Test Case
input tab. The Auditor will document each screen within the eligibility
application with screenshots and store the EDN and provide the EDN to CMS,
unless the test case ends after the screener questions, which is clearly marked in
each input tab. For each test case, the Auditor must provide the raw JSON from
the Get App API response for the application version used to complete the
scenario.
There are several required fields in each cell within this column:
- The first required field in each cell is, "Eligibility results compliance conclusion:
_____." If the test case is compliant, and matches the eligibility results expected
for the test case, the Auditor must indicate "Yes" in this column. If the row is not
compliant, the Auditor must indicate the noncompliance with a "No" in this
column.
- The subsequent required fields in each cell refer to the "Auditor Checklist"
column and include the item number from the Application UI Toolkit, and the
row number from the test case. For example, the first item in row 15 of the 3.A
Check List is "Check Item 32: Verify the answer format for the statement related
to not having a SSN is a checkbox format and conforms to the UI Q CG
requirements." After the Auditor verifies this checklist item, the Auditor must
document its compliance determination in the corresponding field in the
"Auditor Compliance Conclusion" column in the "Phase 3" tab, "Auditor checklist
item 32/row 15 compliance conclusion:_____"

Risks Identified**

The Auditor must detail any compliance risks
identified during the audit in this column for each
applicable row. Use this column if the Compliance
Conclusion was “No” or if the entity resolved a risk
prior to audit submission. There are two types of
risks: resolved and unresolved. Please document
them both here. Do not document a risk if the
requirement is compliant and there was no
mitigation required.

As the Auditor reviews each test case in its entirety, the Auditor must indicate
any compliance risks identified in this column. This includes any compliance risks
that the EDE Entity has since resolved and come into compliance. One example
finding is the Auditor could not input all of the test data because UI questions
were missing. Another example is if the eligibility result was correct, but the
Auditor found that the entity's UI did not seem to follow the test data inputs or
display correct questions.

Risk Level**

Auditors must assign a risk level to each risk it
identifies.

The Auditor must assign a risk level of "high" or "low" to each risk. High-risk
issues may impact a consumer’s eligibility determination, enrollment disposition
or status, or legal attestation. High-risk issues may also greatly hinder the
consumer experience or impact data collection (e.g., skipping a question that is
required for a EDE Entity to ask, but optional for the consumer to answer). Lowrisk issues are unlikely to affect a consumer’s eligibility determination,
enrollment disposition or status, legal attestation, experience (i.e., in a negative
or confusing way), or data collection. Note: These risk determinations are
applicable for the business audit only and not the privacy and security audit.

CMS will take the risk level assigned by the Auditor
into consideration when reviewing the audit, but
may adjust it if necessary.

Risk Mitigation Strategy**

Auditors must explain how a risk(s) was mitigated.
For example, if the entity had non-compliant
question text, the Auditor must identify that as a risk
and list the specific language used as well as how the
issue was resolved. This field is required for high-risk
findings. The Auditor can work with the EDE Entity to
decide on whether or not to include this for low-risk
findings.

As the Auditor identifies compliance risks, the Auditor and EDE Entity will
identify a mitigation strategy that will mitigate or eliminate the compliance risk.
The Auditor must document that mitigation strategy here. This includes
documenting the mitigation strategy for any identified risk that the EDE Entity
has resolved. One example is, if the initial test did not produce the expected
eligibility results (which would be an identified risk), the EDE Entity made a
system or UI change to correct the issue to produce the correct eligibility result.

Estimated Resolution Date**

Auditors must provide a timeframe for risk
resolution (required for unresolved high-risk
findings).

CMS recommends Auditors work with the EDE Entity to provide a realistic
timeframe of when a risk will be closed or mitigated given other dependencies
and their expertise.

Auditor Comments**

Auditors must use the Auditor comments column for
any additional notes or comments pertaining to each
item. The Auditor must use this column to include
the applicable screenshot file or folder names that
show proof of compliance (or non-compliance) for
this requirement.

For instructions on how to properly document supplemental documentation see
the Enhanced Direct Enrollment (EDE) Business Audit Instructions and Report
Template.
The Auditor can also use this column to provide any additional notes or
comments pertaining to each item. Business requirements audits should not
include comments that describe the Auditor’s process for verifying the
requirement unless there is a specific issue or concern regarding the
requirement that warrants raising a concern.

provide additional information for the Auditor about
what should or should not appear in the UI.

Auditor Checklist

Each case has 1-7 checklist items for the Auditor to
use when going through the test case to ensure
correct implementation. The Auditor must review
and verify each checklist item.

the event an EDE entity does not support an application state listed in the test
scenario, the Auditor may omit that test case.

The Auditor is required to verify all checklist items and include it's compliance
determination for each checklist item in the corresponding field in the "Auditor
Compliance Conclusion" column in the "Phase" tab.

Required Completion Rate (Reminder)
Auditors must conduct all possible test cases. However, depending on the
Entity's intended service areas, Auditors may not be able to conduct a test case
because the Entity does not intend to operate in the specific state(s) provided in
the test case. Auditors must conduct a minimum number of test cases from
each toolkit it completes. Auditors conducting Phase 1 audits must submit at
least 11 of 14 Phase 1 test cases. Auditors conducting Phase 2 audits must
submit at least 8 of 14 Phase 1 test cases AND 6 of 9 Phase 2 test cases. Auditors
conducting Phase 3 audits must submit at least 8 of 14 Phase 1 test cases AND 5
of 9 Phase 2 test cases AND 7 of 9 Phase 3 test cases. If an Auditor is not able to
conduct the minimum number of test cases for each toolkit because of the
Entity's planned service areas, it must email DE Support to request instructions
to modify test cases so that the Auditor is able to conduct and submit the
minimum number of test cases.
Household Member Input

Test data for each consumer in the test case.

Household Member Information

This section provides the household composition
information such as relationships, whether
household members are applicants/non-applicants,
Social Security Numbers (SSNs), and
citizenship/immigration information.

More About This Household

This section provides information for answering the
Non-MAGI Medicaid eligibility questions (physical
disabilities, assistance with daily living, nursing home
care), pregnancy, foster care, incarceration and fulltime student questions.

Tax Household

This section provides information for answering tax
filing status questions.

Medicaid Block

This section provides information for answering the
questions about Medicaid denial or Medicaid ending
due to a change in eligibility.

Income

This section provides each household member's
current income, deductions, annual income, and
income discrepancies, when applicable.

Program Questions

This section provides additional inputs for each test
case that are specific to APTC, Medicaid, CHIP, SEP,
and QHP eligibility.

Attestations

This section provides information for answering the
legal attestations.

Eligibility Results

This section shows the eligibility results that should
display for each consumer in the Eligibility Results
Page. The information displayed in the UI should
accurately reflect results found in the Eligibility
Determination Notice (EDN) and use specific
language where noted in the test cases.

All Phase 1 and some Phase 2 scenarios require the use of specific test SSNs
which are provided in the input table. Some Phase 2 and Phase 3 scenarios do
not include SSNs. In these instances, the Auditor should proceed in the
application without entering any values in the SSN field. Entering an invalid SSN
will prevent application submission. Please refer to phase-specific instructions.

Auditors should note that test cases do not include data matching issue (DMI)
status in the Eligibility Results section. If the test case results in a DMI, the ERP
and EDN will provide instruction that the consumer must submit documentation
to confirm information. DMIs can occur for citizenship status; immigration
status; household income; incarceration status; American Indian or Alaska
Native status; eligibility for minimum essential job-based coverage; and eligibility
for coverage through Medicaid or CHIP, TRICARE, Veterans Health Care Program,
Medicare, or Peace Corps.
Auditors should also note that the test cases do include information on Special
Enrollment Verification Issues (SVIs) in the Eligibility Results section, and that
messaging about SVIs is expected on both the eligibility results page and
eligibility determination notice when noted in the test case. However, SVIs will
not be generated for applicants who are current enrollees or for applications
submitted during the annual open enrollment period. Entities can help ensure
they are generating the expected SVIs by always randomizing demographic data
as instructed by the test cases and completing the toolkit outside of the open
enrollment period.

Test Scenario Description

Auditor Compliance Conclusion**

-AI/AN status and federally recognized tribe questions
displayed
-CSR eligibility determined correctly with AI/AN household
members
-AI/AN consumer is QHP eligible with CSR; both spouses
are eligible to enroll in QHP through SEP

A young married couple applies for coverage together without seeking financial
assistance. One spouse is an American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) and one is not,
which impacts the eligibility results: the AI/AN consumer receives CSR, even though
he is not applying for financial assistance. Both consumers are found eligible for the
marriage SEP, the AI/AN consumer qualifies for a tribal SEP.

compliance conclusion:

-AI/AN status and federally recognized tribe questions

-Tribal income questions displayed
-CSR eligibility determined correctly with AI/AN household
member; spouse may be eligible for Medicaid

In this scenario, the couple from Test Case 3.A performs a change in circumstance
(CiC) to request financial assistance. Because of the husband's American
Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) status, special questions are asked related to tribal
income. The husband is now found eligible for a hardship exemption due to the
Medicaid coverage gap and having income below APTC range, and the wife is found
eligible for Medicaid because she was in foster care in the application state and aged
out in the application state.

In this scenario, a non-citizen parent and citizen child are both applying for coverage.
This scenario demonstrates a household where family members are found eligible for
different programs and where a child lives with someone who is not on the
application and whose information must be included in order to build the child's
Medicaid household. Although the household income is within CHIP range, the child
is subject to a CHIP waiting period and therefore becomes APTC eligible. This triggers
display of ESC coverage, and the applicant must provide information about a health
coverage offer from the mother's job that is available to the child, but is
unaffordable.

Summary: In this scenario, a parent, her domestic partner, and her child apply for
coverage. This scenario demonstrates the UI can successfully build the household
when one of applicants (domestic partner) is not part of the tax return. The mother
has an offer of employer-sponsored coverage (ESC), and because the offer is
affordable, she is found QHP eligible without APTC. Because the daughter is enrolled
in COBRA, she is found QHP eligible without APTC. Because the domestic partner is
not filing a tax return, he is eligible for QHP without subsidy.

This scenario demonstrates a multi-generation application where the application filer
is temporarily residing outside the application state and the other application
members reside at a different address within the application state. Because the
application filer intends to return to reside in the application state, he is found QHP
eligible with subsidy. This scenario also demonstrates the UI's ability to display
special Medicaid household composition questions to the grandchild.

Auditor checklist Item 200/row 37 compliance conclusion:

In this application, a non-applicant non-custodial parent is applying for coverage for
her child. Because the child attests to a Medicaid/CHIP denial, the child is not found
eligible for Medicaid/CHIP regardless of income, and because the application filer has
a married filing separately tax status, the child is not eligible for APTC. Therefore, the
eligibility outcome is QHP only.

APTC through a marriage SEP

This scenario presents an application within APTC income range that includes
married tax dependents, non-applicant tax dependents, and a tax dependent who is
also filing their own return. The scenario demonstrates the UI's ability to display
special Medicaid household composition questions as well as display legal
relationship questions, other individual market insurance coverage, and multiple SEP
types. This test case must be run in SC, zip code 29401 or TX, zip code 77001.

-Initial application, 7 member household
-Seeking financial assistance
-Multiple marriages, other relative, parent/caretaker relative
question
-One married applicant who is not a tax dependent
-Application filer lives with unrelated other relative
-Non-applicants added after start of application

-UI supports addition of non-applicants after start of
application and properly displays parent caretaker
relatives and legal relationship questions
-EDE Entity supports complex tax households on
application
-Application members may be eligible for Medicaid and
application members are determined eligible for QHP with
and without APTC through a Medicaid denial SEP

This is another multi-generation household scenario that includes an applicant who is
not a dependent on the application filer's return. The scenario requires the UI to
display questions to collect information on a non-applicant dependent child for
purposes of parent/caretaker relative eligibility only; and collects information on
current health coverage for a dependent child non-applicant for Medicaid adult group

Auditor Comments**

Summary: A young married couple applies for coverage together without seeking financial assistance. One spouse is an American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) and one is not, which impacts the eligibility results: the AI/AN
consumer receives CSR, even though he is not applying for financial assistance. Both consumers are found eligible for the marriage SEP, and the AI/AN consumer qualifies for a tribal SEP.

Summary: In this scenario, the couple from Test Case 3.A performs a change in circumstance (CiC) to request financial assistance. Because of the husband's American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) status, special questions
are asked related to tribal income. The husband is now found eligible for a hardship exemption due to the Medicaid coverage gap and having income below APTC range, and the wife is found eligible for Medicaid because
she was in foster care in the application state and aged out in the application state.

Summary: In this scenario, a non-citizen parent and citizen child are both applying for coverage. This scenario demonstrates a household where family members are found eligible for different programs and where a child lives with someone who is not on the application
and whose information must be included in order to build the child's Medicaid household. Although the household income is within CHIP range, the child is subject to a CHIP waiting period and therefore becomes APTC eligible. This triggers display of ESC coverage, and the
applicant must provide information about a health coverage offer from the mother's job that is available to the child, but is unaffordable.

Summary: In this scenario, a parent, her domestic partner, and her child apply for coverage. This scenario demonstrates the UI can successfully build the household when one of applicants (domestic partner) is not part of the tax return. The mother has an offer of
employer-sponsored coverage (ESC), and because the offer is affordable, she is found QHP eligible without APTC. Because the daughter is enrolled in COBRA, she is found QHP eligible without APTC. Because the domestic partner is not filing a tax return, he is eligible for
QHP without subsidy.

and Baby, and that relationships of "domestic partner" and
either "parent's domestic partner" or "child of domestic
partner" are accepted

This question is expected to appear for Jim (Item

logic can derive Jane lives with her daughter and set
her parent/caretaker relative status accordingly

Check Item 116: Verify Jim is asked about children he lives with
and takes care of and is able to select "Baby" as an answer
option

Summary: This scenario demonstrates a multi-generation application where the application filer is temporarily residing outside the application state and the other application members reside at a different address within the application state. Because the application
filer intends to return to reside in the application state, he is found QHP eligible with subsidy. This scenario also demonstrates the UI's ability to display special Medicaid household composition questions to the grandchild.

Summary: In this application, a non-applicant non-custodial parent is applying for coverage for her child. Because the child attests to a Medicaid/CHIP denial, the child is not found eligible for Medicaid/CHIP regardless of income, and because the
application filer has a married filing separately tax status, the child is not eligible for APTC. Therefore, the eligibility outcome is QHP only.

Summary: This is another multi-generation household scenario that includes an applicant who is not a dependent on the application filer's return. The scenario requires the UI to display questions to collect information on a non-applicant dependent child for purposes of parent/caretaker relative eligibility only; and collects information on current health coverage for a dependent child non-applicant for Medicaid adult group eligibility of the parent. This scenario also demonstrates results for a
consumer who does not file a tax return and is not claimed as a dependent. The scenario produces eligibility results that include Medicaid and QHP with and without subsidy. This test case should be run in LA, zip code 70802.

Summary: A married couple applying for financial assistance reports they were offered an individual coverage HRA (ICHRA) they have not accepted yet. The scenario demonstrates the UI's ability to collect information about the consumers' ICHRA offer to determine whether it is considered "affordable"
for purposes of determining APTC eligibility. In addition, the UI must collect information about the application filer's ICHRA and the spouse's Qualified Small Employer HRA (QSEHRA) offer for purposes of a special enrollment period (SEP) eligibility. Due to the unaffordable ICHRA offer, the couple is
eligible for APTC/CSRs. The couple is also eligible for an SEP due to being newly offered an ICHRA and being newly provided a QSEHRA, but the eligibility results show the QSEHRA SEP. This test case should be run in FL (zip code 33305, Broward county), WI (zip code 53062, Calumet county), or TX (zip
code 75001, Dallas county).
