Step

Action

1

Entitlement Details Inquiry screen + Read more ...

Before checking the enrolment, search for any possible consumer records.

Highlight and copy the Medicare card number from the QCS.

Switch to CDMS and paste the Medicare card number into the Inquire on Consumer Details search screen then select Entitlement.

The Entitlement Details Inquiry screen for all members associated with the Medicare card number is displayed.

Once Medicare details have been checked on the Entitlement Details Inquiry screen, conduct a consumer search to ensure no duplicate records have been created. Complete a Mandatory detailed search in CDMS.

2

Perform check + Read more ...

Compare the source documents with information in the CDMS history using the CDMS quality control quick reference guide.

If more than one consumer ID need to be checked, select the radio button of each individual.

3

Record check results + Read more ...

Once the transaction and source documents have been examined, return to the Quality Control System (QCS).

QCS displays 'b' (browse) in the S field and is now ready to accept error status codes in the STATUS field to indicate whether or not the transaction had been processed correctly.

In the STATUS fields for the transaction selected, key only one status code and press [Enter] - the error with the greatest impact.

QCS returns a lower case 'u' in the S field to advise that the selection has been updated with an error status code.

If several updates have been performed in CDMS on the same Medicare card, QCS may select the same card multiple times on the same day. In these cases, Quality Checkers must only populate one QCS transaction line with a valid status code. All other selections should remain unactioned. They will be automatically removed from QBBI after about 21 days.
