Configuring rules to determine the coverage period start date

You can configure how the effective date of a change of circumstance is used to determine the coverage period start date.

The curam.hcr.effectivedate environmental property indicates whether to use the Evidence Effective Date to indicate when the reported change takes effect. It determines whether the change of circumstance takes effect based on the date the change happened (Effective Date) or based on when the evidence change was reported (Date Received). The property is used for all programs.

When the property value is set to the default value, YES, the coverage period start date is based on the received date of the applicable change in evidence, and the effective date of change of the evidence is not used. When the property value is set to NO, the coverage period start date is based on the effective date of change for the applicable change in evidence, and the received date is not used.
