This chapter lists the applications administration tasks that are specific to Siebel Healthcare. Use this
chapter in combination with Applications Administration Guide.
Applications Administration Guide covers the setup tasks that are common to all Siebel eBusiness
Applications, such as using license keys, defining employees, and defining your companys structure.
It also provides the information you will need to implement, configure, and monitor the Siebel sales,
service, and marketing products and to perform data administration and document administration
tasks.
This guide assumes that you have already installed or completed the upgrade of Siebel Healthcare.
If you have not, go to the Installation/Upgrade section of the Siebel Bookshelf and click the links to
the guides that are relevant to your companys implementation.
The Siebel database server installation creates a Siebel administrator account that can be used to
perform the tasks described in this guide. For more information about this process, see the
Installation Guide for your operating system.
CAUTION: Do not perform system administration functions on your local database using the Mobile
Web Client. Although there is nothing to prevent you from doing this, it can have serious results,
such as data conflicts, an overly large local database, or a large number of additional transactions
to route.

Companies
Within Siebel Healthcare, the term companies refers to entities that are typically referred to as
accounts in other Siebel applications. A company represents the relationship between your
organization and companies or organizational entities (or structures) with which you do business.
Use the Companies screen and its associated views to view company information and interactions.
CAUTION: This chapter assumes you have renamed Siebel Account objects to Companies. By
default, Siebel Healthcare installs using the term Accounts. For more information on renaming Siebel
Account objects, see Upgrade Guide.
In Siebel Healthcare, the term investors refers to financial organizations such as mutual fund or
money management institutions; investors are not contacts, rather they are companies that are
identified as investors. In Siebel Financial Services 7.7, the investors functionality has migrated to
the Companies screen. This chapter covers both regular company and investor procedures.
Using the procedures given in this chapter, you will be able to perform the administrator tasks of
controlling company information, generating company hierarchies, managing competitor
information, verifying coverage team members, and managing custom-defined relationship types.
End users use the Companies views to add new companies and investors, create company
assessments, associate service requests with a company, update the coverage team, define
relationships to other companies, contacts, and households, and view company summary
information. In addition, end users can retrieve information about investors, including investors
preferences, holdings, and transactions.
You can save time and reduce keystrokes by using a workflow to automate steps that are repeatedly
performed by end users. For more information, see Siebel Business Process Designer Administration
Guide.
27
For more information on company hierarchies, see Generating Company Hierarchies for Data
Aggregation on page 32 and Viewing Company Hierarchies in Roll-Up Views on page 36.
Relationship with her organization, such as the coverage team, contract terms, sales and service
information
She can also view details of competitors and create and access marketing and sales presentations.
The sales representative can create a new company record or view and modify information about
existing companies. For example, if the sales representative is preparing for a sales call, she can use
the Companies screen to answer the following questions:
What financial accounts and products does the company already own?
28
In the Company form, click the select button in the Account Team field.
In the Account Team dialog box, locate the administrator and click in the Primary field.
In the Account Team dialog box, delete all other coverage team members and click OK.
Only those users with access to the All Companies and All Companies Across Organizations views
will be able to see this company.
29
Select the Competitor check box to add the company to the Competitors list.
The company appears in the Competitors list. The Competitors list is available in the
Competitors screen and related screens, such as Opportunities.
NOTE: Non-administrators can specify that a company is a competitor by selecting Competitor from
the Type drop-down list. However, selecting Competitor from the Type drop-down list does not add
the company to the Competitors list as seen on the Competitors screen or in the Pick Competitors
dialog box, which is accessible on related screens, such as Opportunities.
When a company has been indicated as a competitor, you may want to add document files of
comparative and competitive literature. For more information, see the chapter on literature
administration in Applications Administration Guide.

Siebel Global Accounts is the module that provides this aggregation functionality. For more on global
accounts, see Applications Administration Guide.
The application administrator can define two types of hierarchies for data aggregation:
33
Optional. Rename the company hierarchy and, if necessary, check the Default field.
NOTE: If end users are using the application when you generate a hierarchy, they must log off
and log on again to see the default hierarchy in the roll-up views.
Click the Add button in the Company Relationships list, select companies in the Add Company
dialog box, and click OK.
All the accounts in the Company Relationship list belong to the new account hierarchy.
To define parent and child relationships, select a company in the Company Relationship list that
has no parent, click the select button in the Parent Company field, and select a parent company
in the Pick Parent Company dialog box.
NOTE: Only companies entered in the Company Relationships list (Step 3) are available for
selection in the parent Company field.
In the organization form, select the desired hierarcy in the Account Hierarchy field.
End users can only see the hierarchy with which their current positions primary organization is tied.
It is the administrators responsibility to associate end users with positions, positions with
organizations, and organizations with hierarchies. For more information, see Applications
Administration Guide.
34
In the Companies form, click the show more button, add a record, and complete the necessary
fields.
To specify a privacy level, in the Privacy Option field select one of the following:
Opt-Out - Third Party. Sharing of non-public personal information with third parties is not

party is not allowed.
United States law requires that financial institutions disclose their privacy policies regarding the
sharing of non-public personal information with third parties and fair credit reporting that
impacts the sharing of non-public personal information with affiliates. End users can specify a
privacy level by making a selection from the Privacy Option field.
The Privacy Option field is for registering the privacy level requested by the company; it does not
impact record visibility in any way. To identify the company as an investor, check the Investor
box in the Company form.
35

38
In the Service Requests list, add a record and complete the necessary fields.
The application automatically assigns a service request number (SR#).

Type
Use this field to determine the type of entity with which you wish to
establish a relationship. Defaults to Contact. Other values include
Household, Organization, and Employee.
Value
The value in this field is based on the Type field. For example, if Type
equals Contact, then clicking the select button in Value field displays the
Select Contact dialog box.
41
42
Contacts
Contacts are entities or individuals with whom the company does business with or with whom it
expects to do business with in the future. Contacts can be employees of other companies,
independent consultants, vendors, or personal acquaintances. Contacts can belong to only one
company, but they can be part of many opportunities, including opportunities that do not involve
their companies. Within Siebel Healthcare, contacts are presented in a single view of the customer
and your relationship with the customer.
CAUTION: This chapter assumes you have renamed Siebel Account objects to Companies. By
default, Siebel Healthcare installs using the term Accounts. For more information on renaming Siebel
Account objects, see the Upgrade Guide for your operating system.
Using the procedures given in this chapter end users can enter and track information about contacts,
including products bought, details of signed agreements or contracts, and products previously
recommended to the customer. Users can also document marketing campaigns and details of each
customers response. Users can maintain a history of service requests, insurance claims, and product
applications that the customer has made in the past. They can analyze a customers financial health
as well as a customers needs.
The Contacts screen provides an alternative view of data that is available in other screens. Many
tasks that can be performed in the Contacts views can also be performed in other screens. For
example, users can create activities for a contact either in the Contact Activities view, or they can
go to the My Activities view to enter a new activity, and then associate it with the contact.
For more information on basic contact functionality and administration, see Applications
Administration Guide.
You can save time and reduce keystrokes by using a workflow to automate steps that are repeatedly
performed by end users. For more information, see Siebel Business Process Designer Administration
Guide.
43
The new account representative returns to her office and enters her new acquaintance into the Siebel
Healthcare as a new contact. She can also enter his company information and associate the company
with the contact. In the Relationship Hierarchy view, she can enter the relationships for this contact,
including all companies he is associated with, the contact's business partners, lawyer, his family
members, and other influential relationships. As the creator of this new contact record, she is
automatically added to the coverage team as the primary representative for the customer. If
necessary, she can also add the small business manager and other product experts to the coverage
team so they can see this new contact in their My Contacts view.
As the customer is looking for personal and business services, the account representative can create
separate opportunity records in Siebel Healthcare associated with the contact. In the opportunity
records, she records the products and services the customer is interested in as well as other followup activities to serve the customer's needs.
In the scenario, end users are the new account representatives who manage company information
in the field. They enter information to:
Use the Relationship view to enter all the contact's influential relationships
Create follow-up activities and assign them to the right representatives to close the potential
opportunities
Using Contacts
The following end-user procedures are described in this section:
Creating contact categories and notes. See Creating Categories for Contact Information on
page 46 and Creating Notes About Contacts on page 46.
Managing contact referral information. See Managing Contact Referral Information on page 47.
44
Adding Contacts
When end users meet someone in the course of business, they add a contact record for that
individual to track pertinent personal information and possible potential future business.
NOTE: The Personal Contacts List is different from the Contacts Lists because it is designed for
contacts not associated with a company. Therefore, in the Personal Contacts List, adding a company
to a record does not also add it to the My Contacts view, All Contacts view, and so on. End users
must add business contacts in one of the Contacts List views proper. They must create, review, and
manage activities for their personal contacts only in the Activities view of the Personal Contacts List
view, not in the other Contacts views.
To add a contact
1
In the Contacts form, click the show more button, add a record, and complete the necessary
fields.
To specify a privacy level, scroll down to the Privacy Option field and select one of the following:
Opt-Out - Third Party. Sharing of non-public personal information with third parties is not

Opt-Out - All Parties. Sharing of non-public personal information with any affiliate or third
party is not allowed.
United States law requires that financial institutions disclose their privacy policies regarding the
sharing of non-public personal information with third parties and fair credit reporting that
impacts the sharing of non-public personal information with affiliates. End users can specify a
privacy level by making a selection from the Privacy Option field.
The Privacy Option field is for registering the privacy level requested by the contact; it does not
impact record visibility in any way.
45
In the Companies dialog box, select a record from the list of available companies, click Add, and
then click OK.
The application automatically associates the company with the contact and populates the address
with the default company address information.

company with the contact.
To enter an alternate address, click the select button in the Address Line field.
Click New, enter the new address, and then click Save.
To specify an address as the contacts primary address, click the Primary field and click OK.

Call Reports
Call reports are records of meetings and other conversations with clients, organizations, and
individuals. Call reports are often required of employees for the following reasons:
Call reports are a means for new relationship managers to learn about the client and its history
with the organization.
Call reports allow senior managers and product specialists associated with a certain client to keep
up with the developments in the client relationship, even if they do not meet with the client on
a regular basis.
Call reports provide a record of important and informal agreements. In the event that a failed
financing transaction results in legal proceedings, these reports are an important component of
the legal process.
Using the procedures given in this chapter, you will be able to perform the administrator tasks of
viewing a chart of call reports and how to manage call report templates. End users use the Call
Reports screen to add a new call report, create a call report distribution list, designate a report as
private, and email or print call reports.
Siebel Healthcare can provide notification of new call reports to designated individuals. For more
information, see Siebel Business Process Designer Administration Guide.

The sales representatives boss is also a member of the client team. When she arrives in the office
the next day and loads Siebel Healthcare, she reviews the new call reports on the Call Reports
screen, reading about the meeting details and notes.
In this scenario, managers or Siebel administrators can view graphical representations of their call
reports call, volume analysis of their own calls, their teams calls, or all call reports in Siebel
Healthcare.

10 Group Policies
Group policies are insurance policies sold to a group on behalf of its members. The group is the
insured party and can be an employer purchasing insurance for its employees, a group of employers
who are purchasing insurance together, or an association or club purchasing insurance for its
members.
Each group policy can offer many products. Group insurance products include group life,
supplemental group life, group disability, group health, vision, and dental.
Some group policies, especially those for larger groups, offer different products to different employee
classes of group members. Examples of employee classes are salaried employees and hourly
employees.
Group members have the option to accept coverage that is available for their class. Group members
who accept coverage are enrolled in the policy and are considered the primary member of the policy.
Enrolled members are usually referred to as members (for health insurance) or policyholders (for
other kinds of insurance).
Primary members can choose products for themselves and for family members or dependents.
Usually, different products are available for primary members and for other policy members.
The Group Policies screen allows users to manage group insurance. Specifically, it allows end users
to generate proposals, create policies and quotes, add employee classes, design plans, enroll
members, and provide service for the policy.
NOTE: In order to generate proposals from the Group Policies screen, you must purchase the Siebel
Proposals & Presentations module.

Typically, members call to ask questions regarding their insurance coverage. The call center
representative accesses this information in the Members screen, Summary view. To enroll members
in a health program, she uses the Health Programs view. To handle a request for a change of primary
care provider (PCP) or a primary network or independent practice association (IPA), she goes to the
Benefits view.
NOTE: Do not add member records in the Members screen. Use the Group Policies screen or the
Individual Health Policies screen to add member records. For more information, see Individual Health
Policies on page 71 or Group Policies on page 79.
Members often call to request information about providers. After the representative adds provider
records in the Providers screen, she can view them in both the Providers and Contacts screens. She
can view the members current provider in the Members Benefits view. She can also use this view to
process requests to change a members primary care provider
NOTE: Use the Providers screen to add provider records. For more information, see Providers on
page 113.

Agencies are organizations that act on behalf of insurance companies to sell insurance policies.
Agents and brokers are the licensed sales representatives who sell the insurance policies. For
many insurance companies, agencies are often the most important type of partner.
Tracking partner information is important since for many healthcare companies, partners such as
banks, agencies, and brokerages often function as a primary revenue channel.
NOTE: Adding partners on the Partners screen only allows you to track and monitor partner
information. If you want to share data with a partner, the partner should be upgraded to a Siebel
Organization. To perform this and other Partner administration tasks, you use the Administration Partner screen. For more information, see Siebel Partner Relationship Management Administration
Guide.
End users use the Agents screen for healthcare-related procedures such as:

Providers are healthcare professionals who are paid by, or file claims with, your health plan or health
insurance company. Examples of providers are physicians, nurse practitioners, dentists, and
pharmacists.
The Providers screen allows end users to manage information about providers. Specifically, it allows
end users to add and track information about providers and contracts, locate providers, associate

A member service representative uses Siebel Healthcare to answer questions about contracted
providers. Using the Provider Locator, she searches for providers by city, state, or ZIP Code. She
views and prints Provider reports based on the product and speciality. Also, she can view some of
the information the contracting specialist adds in the Providers screen and the Products screen. For
example, the Products screen displays information about providers in the Primary Providers view and
the Contracted Providers view.

15 Billing Accounts
To handle the payment of policy premiums, insurance companies use something called a billing
account. A billing account is a construct that is used to handle the billing and payment activities
associated with one or many insurance policies. The policy premiums are billed and collected through
the billing account. This allows insurance companies to give users the flexibility to pay their
premiums through a single bill, even though they may have several policies.
Siebel Healthcare provides flexibility for companies to handle billing-oriented transactions in various
ways. Although billing accounts are a popular method within the industry, many companies handle
billing on a single policy basis and many use a blend of billing account and single policy billing.
Using the procedures given in this chapter, end users will be able to use the Billing Accounts screen
to add a billing account, associate a billing account with a policy, contact, or company, and add a
service request to a billing account.
