Here’s what’s new in Ideon’s Enrollment API v 0.3.3

Network Expansion with New Carrier Additions

Ideon has expanded our set of carriers to include new connections in 2024. These additional carriers have been added to our schema and are captured below.

• Prudential

• BCBS NC

• BCBS SC

• BCBS TN

• BC Network of MI

• BCBS MI

• Securian

Additional Fields Across Endpoints

Our updated schema allows additional fields to be provided across endpoints that support the most accurate and complete picture of members and their coverages.

• Employment Details – Within Employment Details, you can now provide an “Original Start Date” (that provides clarity in the case of re-hires). Additionally, we offer the ability to split out a specific “Benefit Salary” that can be used by carriers to calculate amounts for salary-based coverages. Field additions include:

  • original_start_date

  • base_salary

  • base_salary_effective_date

  • benefit_salary

  • benefit_salary_effective_date

• Indemnity Dental Plans – Partners can now specificy a Dental Plan type of “Indemnity”, using the new `product_type` field within the plan schema for a Dental plan. Field additions include:

  • "product_type": "indemnity"

• Enrollment Discrepancies Source – We now surface the “source” of an Enrollment Discrepancy, whether it came from our own internal validations, our periodic audit process, or normalized carrier error reporting. Field additions include:

• “source”: [ file_validation, reconciliation, api, manual, error_report ]

PUT to Plans

We have added the ability to “PUT to /plans”, allowing you to update plan information including the “description” and provide key information to our team without reloading a new plan.

Note: This endpoint does not allow you to modify the fundamental plan attributes of “product_line”, “product_type”, and “voluntary”. If those are inaccurate a new plan will still be required.

Pagination Additions

To provide reporting flexibility we have added pagination capabilities and documentation (specified in the “parameters” for each request) to the following endpoints:

• GET to /groups

• GET to /subscribers

• GET to /tasks

• GET to /watchers

• GET to /users
