CMS-10877 Eligibility Results Toolkit - Phase 2

OMB Control #: 0938-NEW
Expiration Date: XX/XX/20XX
Eligibility Results Toolkit - Phase 2
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 2 Entities must submit complete eligibility application UI screenshots only for the Phase 2 Eligibility Results Toolkit (ERT). Phase 2 entities must submit EDNs and unparsed JSONs for
all test cases it completes in the Phase 1 and 2 ERTs. In test cases for which an EDN is not generated, but is expected, Auditors must repeat the test case. If the test case ends after the
screening questions (i.e., if the consumer is not eligible to use a Phase 1 or Phase 2 EDE pathway, the consumer must be guided to an alternate pathway), the Auditor will not provide a
screenshot of the EDN, but must still provide screenshots showing the application questions asked from the start of the application through the end of the test case (i.e., the redirect to the
alternate pathway). 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
the Phase 1 eligibility application.
"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.

Phase 2

This tab displays an overview of the test scenarios for The Auditor will use this tab to track compliance with each eligibility result test
scenario defined in the subsequent tabs. The Auditor must carefully examine the
the Phase 2 eligibility application.
"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 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 question 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.

Phase 3 (different toolkit)

Description
How to Review
This tab displays an overview of the test scenarios for The Auditor will use this tab to track compliance with each eligibility result test
scenario defined in the subsequent tabs. The Auditor must carefully examine the
the Phase 3 eligibility application.
"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 2.A input, Test
Case 2.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 Result" 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., TestCase2A-1, TestCase2A-2). Similarly,
the Auditor should name the JSON files to clearly identify them as belonging to a
specific test case (e.g., TestCase2A-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 “TestCase2-A”) instead of submitting each screenshot as an
individually saved image (e.g., TestCase2A-1.jpg, TestCase2A-2.jpg). This may
help expedite CMS’s audit review.

Description

How to Review

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

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**

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

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).
Low-risk 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.

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.

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

Screening Questions

This section provides the screener questions and
answers for each test case that determine if
consumer(s) can use a certain phase of EDE.

Screening Pass/Fail

This section describes and explains if the test
consumer(s) may continue the application or if the
test consumer must be guided to an alternate
pathway because the consumer is not eligible for this
phase of EDE.

Household Member Input

Test data for each consumer in the test case.

Household

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.

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

Program Questions

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 ERP. The
information displayed in the UI should accurately
reflect results found in the 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 Result 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 ERP and EDN 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 Case ID
Test Case 2.A

State
Any state

Summary/Criteria
-Initial application, 1 member household
-Not seeking financial assistance
-Single, no dependents
-U.S. citizen; not born in U.S. (naturalized)

Expected Results/What's Tested
-EDE Entity displays naturalized citizenship
questions properly
-EDE partner allows naturalized citizen to
proceed with the application and is determined
eligible for QHP

Test Scenario Description
This test case demonstrates the functionality for a consumer not applying for
financial assistance. In this scenario, an unmarried 25 year-old in any state with no
dependents completes the screener on the EDE Entity site. Although this consumer is
a U.S. citizen, he was not born in the U.S. and became a naturalized citizen. On the
application, the consumer attests to being a citizen, but citizenship cannot be verified
by SSA. Consumer is able to continue through the application after attesting as a
naturalized citizen and is determined eligible for QHP.
This test case tests the UI and functionality related to pregnant application members
in states with similar Medicaid income limits for pregnant women. The consumers
were married within the last 60 days. The husband is found eligible for QHP and APTC
with a marriage SEP, but the wife is eligible for Medicaid due to her income and
pregnancy status.
This test case should re-access the application from 2.B through a change in
circumstance (CiC). In this scenario, Betty is no longer pregnant and the couple is
adding their child to their application. This demonstrates the EDE partner is able to
support CiCs that result in changes to program eligibility. Because Betty is no longer
pregnant, she is now QHP and APTC with CSRs eligible with an marriage SEP and the
child is eligible for Medicaid.

In this scenario, a parent applies for coverage along with their 18 year-old child and a
stepchild, who they will claim on their tax return. Because the tax dependent child is
18 and the parent is applying for coverage, the application asks whether or not the 18
year old is a full-time student. The scenario also includes a dependent stepchild who
attests to a disability, demonstrating a Phase 2 application's ability to support
dependent stepchildren. The household receives a determination of QHP eligibility
with APTC, and the stepchild is referred to the State Medicaid agency based on her
attestations to non-MAGI questions.

This test scenario allows the EDE Entity to demonstrate their UI can support
incarcerated application members as part of Phase 2 requirements. The consumer
attests that application members are incarcerated. The consumer indicates the wife
is incarcerated and answers "No" to the follow-up question of if they are
incarcerated pending disposition of charges. The consumer indicates that the son is
incarcerated pending disposition of charges. The consumer attests to not having
eligible immigration status and is therefore not eligible for a QHP. The wife is not
eligible for a QHP due to her incarceration status (not pending disposition of charges).
The son is eligible for a QHP because his incarceration is pending disposition of

This scenario includes a single parent applying for himself and his two children. It
demonstrates functionality and logic related to former foster care applicants. The
older child answers affirmatively to having been formerly in foster care at age 18 or
older, indicates the age they left foster care was 18 (VA), 19 (MI, NE, SC) or 21 (AR,
DE, FL, MS, NC, ND, OK), and that they were in foster care in the application state.
The younger child is applying with a name different than on their SSN card. The
primary applicant and younger child are found eligible for QHP with APTC based on
income while the older child is determined preliminarily eligible for Medicaid based
on former foster care status. The primary applicant is also referred to his state
Medicaid agency based on age.

Test Case 2.D input
Summary: In this scenario, a parent applies for coverage along with their 18 year-old child and a stepchild, who they will claim on their tax return. Because the tax dependent child is 18 and the parent is applying for coverage, the
application asks whether or not the 18 year old is a full-time student. The scenario also includes a dependent stepchild who attests to a disability, demonstrating a Phase 2 application's ability to support dependent stepchildren. The
household receives a determination of QHP eligibility with APTC, and the stepchild is referred to the State Medicaid agency based on her attestations to non-MAGI questions.
