Member Program Eligibility Report – Help with this Report
Document Scope
The Member Program Eligibility Report shows which members were eligible for each program during the selected reporting year and the TIP activity associated with that eligibility. It includes available filters, a distinct member count, eligibility counts by program, eligibility dates, TIP status counts, and member-level detail for export.
Document Purpose
This guide explains how to use the Member Program Eligibility Report’s filters, key performance indicator, chart, and data table to review program eligibility and associated TIP activity. It helps users interpret current, ended, and interrupted eligibility; distinguish member counts from TIP activity counts; reconcile TIP totals with component status counts; and export filtered data while observing Patient ID restrictions and applicable data-handling requirements.

Outcomes Recommendation
Start with Calendar Year and Program. Add Client and Policy when the same program spans multiple payer populations.
This KPI displays the distinct member count for the active filters. Each member is counted once in the filtered population even when the detail contains multiple eligibility or program records.
Outcomes Recommendation
Use this KPI as the population baseline before interpreting TIP totals. TIP counts represent activities, not additional members.
This horizontal stacked bar chart shows currently eligible and no longer eligible member counts by program. Each bar includes the two stack counts and the program total.
Outcomes Recommendation
Use the chart to compare active program reach with eligibility attrition. Then use the detail extract to identify the members and eligibility dates behind each segment.
Understanding Eligibility Dates
|
Field |
Interpretation |
|
Earliest Program Eligibility Start Date |
First date the member became eligible for the program in the reporting year. |
|
Current Program Eligibility Start Date |
Most recent date the member became eligible for the program in the reporting year. |
|
Program Eligibility End Date |
Date the member’s eligibility ended in the reporting year. A blank value indicates current eligibility for chart purposes. |
Outcomes Recommendation
When Earliest and Current start dates differ, review the record as an interrupted eligibility period rather than a duplicate member.
