Scope Overview

The initial development of the HRA Tool – labeled Minimum Viable Product (MVP) Release – includes a solution that supports two primary stakeholders: 1) Anonymous Consumer, and 2) SBE System Administrator.

The Anonymous Consumer experience is designed as a 3-5 Web page workflow with instructions, forms to collect consumer information (per state configuration) and results page presenting a determination. The informtion collected includes the following, subject to SBE configurations:

  • Employee Age
  • Employee Residence (State-only, State and County, or State, County and Zip)
  • Projected Income
  • HRA type
  • HRA amount
  • HRA start & end date

The System Admininstrator experience is designed to enable SBE staff to customize the system to match their state’s policies and enrollment system. This includes capabilities to:

  • Define a Markeplace
  • Upload plans and premiums
  • Specify age and geographic rating area settings
  • Customize key terms and text that appear on Consumer portal
  • Upload logo, set colors and typeface on Consumer portal

Delivery Goal

The task taken on by IdeaCrew and State Health and Value Strategies (SHVS) is to produce and release a decision support tool within 45-60 days following a notice to proceed with development.

The goal in this short timeline is to deliver a fully functional consumer facing tool designed for broad SBE adoption in time for 2020 Open Enrollment.
