Feature #26913 – Populate Employer name when available in 271 Eligibility response

Summary

This enhancement to Insurance Management auto-populates employer's name when that information is returned in the 271 Eligibility response. 

Background

Previously, within the Managed Policies grid, the employer’s name would need to be manually inputted in order to capture that information.

To optimize workflow, if the employer’s name returns with the 271 eligibility response it will be auto-populated into the  Employer’s Name field within the Managed Policies grid.

Feature Description

Due to the inconsistencies of how an employer’s name is reported within the 271 the new EmployerNameExclusions look up table has been introduced to assist in identifying the group names that will can be ignored when attempting to find the employer's name.  

The Employer field will be equal to the Group Name, when the Group Name does not match any exclusion filters.  If the Group name does not match any filter column values, the Employer column will be empty.

Note, if the Employer Name column has an existing value, that value will remain as the Employer Name column will only auto-populate newly found information if that field is empty.

If the employer’s name does not return within the 271 response or it is not found, a manual input will still be desired.
