Overview of Siebel Healthcare

Siebel Healthcare includes various modules that you can mix and match according to your business
needs. The next section, Siebel Healthcare Functionality on page 13, describes Siebel Healthcare
functionality.
Siebel Healthcare is built upon the Siebel eBusiness Architecture, including Siebel Sales, Siebel
Service, and Siebel Call Center applications. Like many other Siebel eBusiness Applications, Siebel
Healthcare uses the Siebel Data Model, the Siebel Object Architecture, and the Siebel Application
Server Architecture.

Siebel Healthcare Functionality


Siebel Healthcare offers a solution for relationship management in the healthcare market that
includes the health insurance, employee benefits, and care delivery sectors. Built on the strengths
of Siebel's industry-leading eBusiness applications, Siebel Healthcare allows organizations to
successfully manage relationships throughout the entire customer lifecycle, across all stakeholder
touchpoints. This provides a platform for identifying new opportunities and expanding upon existing
business relationships. Recognizing that success comes from relationships with the expanded
community of stakeholders, Siebel Healthcares suite of applications focus on the expanded
healthcare ecosystem: insurance subscribers and members as well as employer accounts,
independent brokers, direct sales channels and providers (health systems, physicians, hospitals,
networks, ancillary providers).
By using Siebel's eBusiness applications, Siebel Healthcare provides solutions to address the
industry's most pressing business issues.
The Siebel Healthcare solution sets include:

End-to-End Sales

Manage Opportunity and Account Tracking for prospecting, renewal, and lost business
analysis

Team based selling (including external team members such as brokers)

Sales Manager views to facilitate team management

Embedded Sales strategy tools such as Miller-Heiman Strategic Selling

Getting Started with Siebel


Healthcare

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.

Renaming Siebel Account Objects


In general, Siebel applications refer to companies as accounts. In the Financial Services industry the
term account has typically been synonymous with financial accounts so historically the word
company has been used in many places in Siebel Healthcare. By default, Siebel Healthcare installs
using the term accounts. Users can change this term and use another description, such as
Companies, Clients, or Customers. Users wishing to change this default need to rename all Siebel
Account objects prior to deployment. For more information, see Upgrade Guide.
NOTE: All of the chapters in this guide are written assuming you have renamed Siebel Account
objects to Companies.

Configuring Lists of Values


In Siebel Healthcare, the List of Values (LOV) should be modified in accordance with the terminology
used by your financial institution. For example, the list of transaction types used in Siebel Healthcare
should match those used by your financial institution. For more information on configuring a LOV,
see Applications Administration Guide.
NOTE: This may impact certain forms and lists, which rely on the preconfigured values for correct
operation.

Siebel Healthcare Guide Version 7.7

Getting Started with Siebel Healthcare Configuring Summary Views

Configuring Summary Views


In Siebel Healthcare, summary views have been restructured. In the past, multiple summary views
existed, typically one summary view for a particular type of user. For example, there were
preconfigured summary views specifically for salespeople and customer service agents. This has
been replaced by common summary views whose appearance can be configured by individual end
users.
Users can change the way a list appears in a summary view using the controls in the top right corner
of each list. These controls, described in Table 2, allow users to manage what appears on the
summary view.

Table 2. Summary View Controls


Button

Description

Hide

Temporarily hides a list or form from view.

Collapse

Collapses the list of records. If the list cannot be collapsed, the expand button
appears instead of the collapse button.

Expand

Expands the list of records. If the list cannot be expanded, the collapse button
appears instead of the expand button.

Any changes made to a summary view layout are only visible to the current user and remain in effect
until that user changes them again or reverts to the default layout. If users hide a list, they must
click Edit Layout to restore it. For more information, see Editing a Summary View Layout.

Editing a Summary View Layout


Using the Edit Layout view, users can restore hidden lists, collapse or expand all lists, move lists or
forms up or down on the page, or revert to the default layout. Using the edit layout buttons,
described in Table 3, users can change the way a summary view appears and apply those changes
to future sessions.

For more information on available summary views, see Viewing a Contact Summary on page 50,
Viewing Company Summaries on page 40, and Viewing Household Summaries on page 55, and
Editing the Layout of the Members Summary View on page 97.

Adding Products and Product Lines


Administrators must set up products, such as health insurance products, in Siebel Healthcare. After
setting up a product, administrators can specify that it be included in a product line. They can also
specify which product lines your company contracts agencies to sell or which ones the state licenses
agencies to sell.
Setting up products is discussed in detail in Product Administration Guide. However, this guide also
explains some steps for adding products in the appropriate chapters. In those chapters, values for
specific fields are given to help administrators set up products correctly.
NOTE: Only those users with the required administrative responsibilities, such as Siebel
administrators, can add products and information about product lines.

About Command Center


The command center allows you to quickly launch a process, perform a task, or jump to a view.
Command center actions are preconfigured by your system administrator in accordance with your
companys business process requirements. For example, if the financial services agents at your
company often need to jump to the financial accounts view for a contact, you could configure the
command center to perform this action, saving them time and keystrokes. See Command Center
Configuration & Administration on page 20 for information on how to configure the command center.
Out of the box, the command center is only available from the Summary views on the Contacts,
Companies, and Members screens.
There are two interface types for the command center:

Action form

Command line

Siebel Healthcare Guide Version 7.7

Getting Started with Siebel Healthcare Command Center Configuration &


Administration

Figure 1 shows the action form, a menu-driven interface guiding the end user through preconfigured
choices in order to launch an action. The command line requires the end user enter specific command
line syntax to launch the action.

Figure 1. Command Center Action Form

Command Center Configuration &


Administration
Command Center configuration and administration should only be done by expert users accustomed
to working with business services.

Process of Configuring the Command


Center Action Form
To configure the appearance and function of the Command Center Action form you must:

Define the business object where the Command Center Action form appears and what business
component and fields are to be used.

Define actions available for the business object, indicating for each combination of possible
attribute values what action is taken (launch a business service or workflow, go to a view, and
so on).

For actions defined as private, select the defined roles for which the actions will be available.

An example configuration is included at Example of Configuring the Command Center Action Applet
on page 24.

Defining the Command Center Business Object


The first step in configuring the Command Center Action form is to define the business object where
the Command Center form appears and what business component and fields are to be used. Out of
the box, the Command Center forms appear on the Contact Summary and Company Summary views.
This task is part of Process of Configuring the Command Center Action Form.

20

Siebel Healthcare Guide Version 7.7

Getting Started with Siebel Healthcare Process of Configuring the Command Center
Action Form

To define the business object


1

Navigate to Site Map > Administration - Command Center > Defined Objects.

Create a new object definition record and complete the fields as follows:

Field

Parameters

Description

Business Object

Any Business Object for which


the forms have been defined.
For example, Contact or
Companies.

This identifies the screen where the


Command Center form is to appear.

Source Business
Component

The business component


against which the Driving Field
will be compared. For
example, FINCORP Account.

The value of this field is constrained


by the value of Business Object field.
In turn, it is a constraint for the Driven
Field.

This should be a business


component available on the
view where the Command
Center applets are visible (for
example, Contact Summary
view).
Source Business
Search
Specification

A filter on the source business


component. For example, Acct.
Status = Open. Only Financial
accounts with a status of Open
will be available in the
Command Center.

Use this field to enter an optional filter


criteria on the selected Business
Component.

Driving Field

A field name from the Source


Business Component. The field
name can be ascertained using
Siebel Tools.

The value of this field is constrained


by Source Business Component and
Source Business Search Specification
(if entered).

Following the examples in the


above field parameter
descriptions, this could be the
Financial Account name or id.

The driving field is equivalent to


Attribute 1.

Driving Field
Label

Free text field, 20 character


limit.

The text label exposed in the UI for


Driving Field (Attribute 1). If blank,
the label defaults to Driving Field on
the Command Center form.

Attribute 2,3,4
Label

Free text fields, 20 character


limit.

The text label for each of Attributes 24. If left blank, the attribute will not
appear on the form.

Siebel Healthcare Guide Version 7.7

21

Getting Started with Siebel Healthcare Process of Configuring the Command Center
Action Form

Field

Parameters

Description

Driving Field on
Cmd Form

Check box.

If checked, it exposes the Driving


Field label on the Command Center
form above the Command field.

Expression

Free text field.

The expression field can be used to


constrain the available set of actions
based on what the user has selected in
the Driving Field. As each object
definition can have multiple action
definitions, the expression field is a
way to limit the available actions
based on a business component field.
For example, if the user selects a
checking account, investment based
actions may not be appropriate.
For example: IIF([Account Number]
LIKE '1800*', Liability, Asset). That is,
if the account number starts with
1800 it maps to action definitions in
the Action Definition list that have the
Attribute 1 Map field set to Liability.
Otherwise, it is mapped to action
definitions that have the Attribute 1
Map field set to Asset.
If there is no need to constrain the
actions, then any value will suffice (for
example, Contact - All).

Defining the Command Center Actions


After you define the business object, you define actions for each object. These actions indicate for
each object a combination of possible attribute values what action is taken (launch a business service
or workflow). The relationship is one-to-many.
This task is part of Process of Configuring the Command Center Action Form on page 20.

To define actions for the Command Center applet


1

Navigate to Administration - Command Center > Defined Objects and select the Object Definition
for which you wish to define actions.

22

Siebel Healthcare Guide Version 7.7

Selecting the Command Center Responsibilities


For each action, select the defined responsibilities for which the action will be available. The
relationship between actions and responsibilities is one-to-many.
This task is part of Process of Configuring the Command Center Action Form on page 20.

To select responsibilities for a Command Center action


1

Navigate to Administration - Command Center > Defined Objects and select the Action for which
you wish to define responsibilities.

In the Responsibility list, create a new record.

Siebel Healthcare Guide Version 7.7

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.

About Company Hierarchies


A company hierarchy is a group of companies that are organized by parent-child relationships. Siebel
Industry Applications support displaying these company relationships in a hierarchical tree.
The hierarchical tree is a visual representation of company hierarchy data that allows end users to
view the relationships between companies. By viewing a company roll-up, users can see aggregated
company information, including contacts, coverage teams, activities, and opportunities.
When end users have access to a company, they can review the hierarchical structure for that
company, its child divisions, and the contacts that work there. Company hierarchies are displayed in
five subviews of the Companies screenRelationship Hierarchy view, Activity Roll-up, Contact Rollup, Opportunity Roll-up, and Coverage Team Roll-up.
Depending on your configuration, a company that does not have a parent-child relationship with
another company may not appear in the roll-up views.

Siebel Healthcare Guide Version 7.7

Companies Scenario for Managing Company Information

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.

Scenario for Managing Company


Information
This scenario feature sample tasks performed by a sales representative in the insurance and
healthcare industries. Your company may follow a different workflow according to its business
requirements.
In this scenario, end users are the sales representatives who manage company information. They
enter information to:

Add new companies to the database and create company assessments

Associate applications and service requests with a company

Manage company coverage teams

View company summary information

View relationships in a graphical manner

Sales Representative Tracks Company Information


A sales representative uses the Companies screen to capture and manage profile information about
her business customer, such as contacts, organizational structure, management, and financial
information. In addition to viewing market statistics and D&B reports. Using Siebel Healthcare, she
can capture and track information about a companys:

Relationship with her organization, such as the coverage team, contract terms, sales and service
information

Preferred delivery channels, at both summary and detailed levels

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 business is this company in?

Who are the executives I should be calling on?

What is this companys financial profile?

What financial accounts and products does the company already own?

What types of service issues has the company had?

Companies Administrator Procedures for Companies

Administrator Procedures for Companies


The following administrator procedures are described in this section:

Deleting Company Information on page 29

Managing Competitor Information on page 29

Verifying Coverage Team Members on page 30

Managing the Custom-Defined Relationship Types LOV on page 31

Generating Company Hierarchies for Data Aggregation on page 32

Deleting Company Information


Deleting a company completely removes the company, as well as all activities related to the
company, from the system. Only delete a company record if you are certain that the company is no
longer active. If end users are unsure whether or not a company is still active (and therefore should
not be deleted), they have the option of removing themselves from the company team instead of
deleting the record.
As the Siebel administrator, you can make a company unavailable to all other users. First, you can
assign yourself as the primary team member. Second, you remove all other employees from the
companys team.

To make a company unavailable to all other users


1

Navigate to Companies > Companies Administration view.

In the Company list, drill down on the desired company.

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.

A check mark appears 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.

Managing Competitor Information


Effective sales and marketing requires that your employees have up-to-date and consistent
information about the competition and their products. This section describes how to administer
information about competitors and competitive products within the Companies screen.

To indicate that a company is a competitor


1

Navigate to Companies > Companies Administration view.

Siebel Healthcare Guide Version 7.7

29

Companies Verifying Coverage Team Members

In the Company list, add or select a company.

In the Company form, click the show more button.

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.

Changing the Competitor Designation


You cannot delete records that have been added to the Competitors list, since deleting them would
also remove them from related screens, like Opportunities. For example, a company may have been
a competitor for an opportunity last month. Even if the company is no longer a competitor, the
competitor record should remain as part of the history of the opportunity.
If you no longer want a record to appear in the Competitors list, uncheck the Competitor check box.
This removes the record from the Competitors screen without affecting other screens.

Verifying Coverage Team Members


If you are logged on as a Siebel administrator, you can search for companies that do not have any
coverage team members.
Managers can add or delete the members of a companys coverage team if they are the existing
primary team member, or the primary team member is one of their direct reports. If you are logged
in as an administrator, you can change the primary team designate for any company in the Company
Administration view. (Navigate to the Companies > Companies Administration view.)
NOTE: In Siebel Financial Services, the terms sales team and account team are equivalent to
coverage team.
The procedures that follow involve making selections in the Account Team field. If the Account Team
field does not appear in your installation, you may need to reveal it using the Columns Displayed
dialog box.
NOTE: Usually, Assignment Manager resolves problems with coverage teams and owner assignment
automatically. For more information on Assignment Manager, see Siebel Assignment Manager
Administration Guide.

To search for a company without any coverage team members


1

Navigate to Companies > Companies Administration view.

Generating Company Hierarchies for


Data Aggregation
Data aggregation is available by using the Roll-up views provided the administrator defines one or
more hierarchies. The application administrator typically defines a default hierarchy by associating
accounts with one another using the parent field on a company form, or the subaccount view for child
accounts. Administrators can define Company hierarchies to display aggregated datathe activities,
opportunities, contacts, and coverage teamsacross organizational structures. For example, the top
node of the hierarchy contains activities for the organization, the subsidiaries below the organization,
the departments at the subsidiaries, and contacts working at any level of the tree. As the end users
move up and down the tree, they see more or less data rolled up to the selected level.
By default, only companies which are part of a relationship hierarchy can display roll-up data. You
can modify the application to display roll-up data for companies which are not part of a hierarchy.

To configure display of roll-up data for companies not in a hierarchy


Using Siebel Tools, set the DynHierachry user property of the Dynamic Hierarchy Direct
Relationship business component to LoadAllAccounts
For more information on setting user properties, see Configuring Siebel eBusiness Applications.

32

Siebel Healthcare Guide Version 7.7

Companies Generating Company Hierarchies for Data Aggregation

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:

Default hierarchy for all end users

Specific hierarchies that are used only by certain end users

Default Company Hierarchies


The application administrator sets up a default company hierarchy once, during the initial application
setup. The default hierarchy is available to all end users who are not tied to a specific hierarchy and
who have been granted view access to the companies represented in the hierarchy. It is the
administrators responsibility to give end users access to Company views. For more information, see
Applications Administration Guide.
When new companies are added, they are automatically added to the default hierarchy tree and the
contacts, coverage teams, activities, and opportunities that are associated with the company are
automatically displayed in the roll-up views.
In the preconfigured application, using the Generate Hierarchy button adds only parent account and
child companies to the hierarchy. Any company that does not have a child or parent is not displayed
in the roll-up views. In Siebel Tools, you can change the DynHierarchy LoadAllAccounts user property
to alter this behavior.
The DynHierarchy LoadAllAccounts user property on the Dynamic Hierarchy Direct Relationship
business component can be set to N or Y. When it is set to N, only parent and children appear in the
a generated hierarchy. When DynHierarchy LoadAllAccounts user property is set to Y, all companies
are added to the generated hierarchy. For more information on setting user properties, see Using
Siebel Tools.

To generate a default company hierarchy


1

Navigate to Companies > Global Companies Administration view.

In the Company Hierarchies list, click Generate Hierarchy.


The parent-child account relationships that have been defined in your application are registered
for participation in the roll-up views. This process may take some time, depending on the
quantity of account records that are in your existing environment.
When the company hierarchy has been generated, a new record appears in the Company
Hierarchies list. The Hierarchy Name field of the record contains the user Id of the administrator
who generated the hierarchy and the time it was generated. If it is the only hierarchy record, the
Default field is automatically checked. The companies that have been added for participation in
the roll-up views appear in the Company Relationships list.
NOTE: If no accounts are visible in the Company Relationships list, click the query button, step
off the query, and click Go to refresh the view.

Siebel Healthcare Guide Version 7.7

33

Companies End-User Procedures for Companies

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.

Dynamic Company Hierarchies


In some cases, users work with particular companies within a large corporation, but not with others.
In these instances, some end users do not need to or should not see aggregated data across the
entire corporation. An administrator can define a custom hierarchical structure across which data can
be aggregated. This defined structure, called a dynamic hierarchy, can be as simple or complex as
needed and offers users the ability to aggregate data across the companies they are interested in
seeing.

To create a dynamic company hierarchy of selected companies


1

Navigate to Companies > Global Companies Administration view.

Create a new company hierarchy record.

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.

Repeat Step 4 for all companies that have no parents.

To associate the dynamic hierarchy with an organization:

Navigate to Site Map > Administration - Group > Organizations.

Select the organization in the Organizations list.

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.

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.

Scenario for Adding a New Contact


These scenarios feature sample tasks performed by a sales representative in the healthcare industry.
Your company may follow a different workflow according to its business requirements.

Sales Representative Adds a New Contact


At a conference a new account representative meets a potential customer. The potential customer
gives the new account representative his business card and informs her that he had recently moved
to the area and works for a medium sized software company.

Siebel Healthcare Guide Version 7.7

43

Contacts Using Contacts

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:

Add a new contact and associate him/her with companies

Use the Relationship view to enter all the contact's influential relationships

Add other account representatives to the coverage team

Create new opportunities associated with the contact

Create follow-up activities and assign them to the right representatives to close the potential
opportunities

Contacts Managing Contact Information

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

Navigate to Contacts > Contacts List.

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-In. Sharing of non-public personal information is allowed without restrictions.

Opt-Out - Affiliates. Sharing of non-public personal information with affiliates is not


allowed.

Opt-Out - Third Party. Sharing of non-public personal information with third parties is not
allowed.

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.

Hierarchies
A contacts relationships are those of influence. End users may have a contact who relies heavily on
the opinions of others when making purchasing or other decisions. If so, they may want to keep track
of the relationships between a contact having purchasing authority and those who might influence
his purchasing decisions.
End users use the Contacts Relationship Hierarchy view to identify and capture key relationships for
a contact. This view features a graphical tree that provides a visual representation of a contacts
relationships. The tree displays both the natural hierarchy of a contacts parent-child relationships
to entities such as companies and households, as well as custom-defined relationships.

Households

A household is a group of contacts generally sharing a common link or association. Households


provide valuable segmentation information on the household as a whole, as well as a summary of
information about the household member contacts. Users can use the Households screen for
identifying and capturing demographic information about a household. They can also use the
Households screen to review customers financial accounts, products, and contact information
associated with that household. This information allows them to assess customers data.
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.
Grouping all of a customers accounts by household allows a service provider to identify a clients
real value to the organization and seek opportunities to cross-sell and up-sell additional products and
services to them, such as homeowners insurance and loans for childrens education. In addition, the
ability to view all of a customer's financial accounts and related portfolio information by household
allows an organization to view the households overall financial position.
By following the procedures described in this chapter, users can enter, manage, and review
information about household members (contacts), accounts, policies, underwriting reports, claims,
opportunities, activities, service requests, and relationship hierarchies.
NOTE: Many of the views are read-only, as they provide a summary of information about household
contacts. The only editable views are Contacts and Relationship Hierarchy.
The Households screen and associated views that appear in Siebel Healthcare share much of the
functionality found in Siebel eBusiness Applications. This chapter focuses on the household
functionality that is unique to Siebel Healthcare. For more information on basic household
functionality, see Applications Administration Guide.

Scenario for Households in Siebel


Financial Services
These scenarios are examples of workflows performed by sales representatives and their managers
in the insurance and healthcare industries. Your company may follow a different workflow according
to its business requirements.
Household information supports sales and service decisions for segmentation and cross-selling. It
also provides background information for the finance and insurance industries about a household and
all of its contacts.
A sales representative uses the Household screen for identifying and capturing demographic and
relationship information about the household and for reviewing policies and products associated with
that household. From the Households screen, the sales representative creates a new household for
a new customer. He then adds contacts to the household.

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.

Scenario for Call Reports


This scenario features sample tasks performed by a sales representative at a healthcare company
and his manager. The scenario outlined in this section is based on the business requirements of the
healthcare industry. Your company may follow a different workflow according to its business
requirements.
After returning to the office following a successful meeting with the client, a sales representative for
the Large Group Division of a healthcare company loads Siebel Healthcare to complete his call report.
The representative navigates to his calendar and marks the meeting as Done. He then navigates to
the Call Reports screen and enters a new call report to document the meeting. In the Report Detail
view, he types a brief log of the meeting and adds the names of contacts and employees who
participated.
Upon completing his report, the sales representative turns to the action items that resulted from the
meeting. First, he needs to send an email to a fellow employee to tell her about the meeting. He uses
the Email Report button on the Call Report form to accomplish this task.
Next, he remembers that he promised to include the client on the invitation list for the upcoming
Charity Ball, so he adds an action item on the Call Reports Action Items view tab. He does this by
clicking Add Action Items on the Call Report form. After he enters his action item, along with several
others, he assigns them to members of his team for follow-up.

Facilities

Facilities are healthcare organizations that are paid by or file claims with your health plan or health
insurance company. Examples of facilities are hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies. Facilities are also
referred to as provider organizations.
Using the procedures given in this chapter, you will be able to perform the administrator tasks of
adding facilities to Facility Locator. End users use the Facilities screens to associate providers,
facilities, and contacts with a facility, add a facility contract, add a facility payment, and add a facility
claim.

Scenario for Adding a New Healthcare


Facility
This scenario features sample tasks performed by a contracting specialist. Your company may follow
a different workflow according to its business requirements.
In this scenario, a contracting specialist for a health plan is responsible for managing information
about the healthcare facilities, such as hospitals and healthcare networks, with which your company
does business. She just established a contract with a single facility.
She adds the new facility to the Siebel database. Next, she adds information about the facilitys
business hours and specialties. Then, she associates the facility with individual providers and with
other facilities. Next, she adds information about contracts the facility holds with your company along
with the facilitys payment preferences.
In this scenario, the end users are contracting specialists for a health plan. They enter information

Individual Health Policies

Individual health policies are insurance policies issued to individuals for themselves and their family
members or dependents. Each individual health policy includes one primary member and may include
additional members.
Each individual health policy offers one or more products, called policy coverages. Examples of
individual health insurance products are HMO, PPO, dental, and vision coverage.
The Individual Health Policies screen allows end users to manage individual health insurance policies.
Using the procedures given in this chapter, end users can generate quotes, accept applications,
handling service requests, and process claims.
NOTE: In order to generate quotes from the Individual Health Policies screen, you must purchase
the Siebel Proposals & Presentations module.
For more information on views common to all policy screens, see Common Policy Views on page 79.

Scenario for Health Insurance Quote and


Application
This scenario features sample tasks performed by a licensed sales representative. Your company may
follow a different workflow according to its business requirements.
In this scenario, a licensed sales representative for an insurance company is on the phone with a
prospective customer who has called to request a quote for individual health insurance.
The sales representative adds information about the prospect and the prospects dependents
(including coordination of benefits). The prospect requests a quote for PPO coverage, dental
insurance, and vision insurance. The sales representative adds the products and reviews the product
attributes. Next, he asks the prospect for enough information to provide an initial premium quote to
the prospect. He gives the prospect a verbal quote and ends the conversation.
One week later, he receives an email message that the prospect has called back and would like to
purchase a policy. In Siebel Healthcare, he adds information about coverages for each applicant
according to the needs of the prospect. In this case, one of the dependents will receive both dental
and vision coverage. Another will receive vision coverage only. Therefore, he associates the first
dependent with both vision and dental, and the second dependent with vision only. Next, he
schedules an activity as a reminder to call the prospect back with the revised premium information.
During the second call, he gathers information from the prospect in order to process the application.
First, he performs a health risk assessment for each applicant. Then he adds billing and payment
arrangements. Finally, he follows the procedures implemented by his company to submit the policy
for issuance and billing.
In this scenario, end users are a sales representatives who manages customer requests. They enter

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.

Scenario for Group Policies


This scenario features sample tasks performed by a licensed sales representative. Your company may
follow a different workflow according to its business requirements.
In this scenario, a licensed sales representative for an insurance company is on the phone with an
insurance agent. The insurance broker has called on behalf of a prospective customer who wants to
offer insurance to its employees at group rates.
In Siebel Healthcare, the sales representative adds a policy record for the company, which
automatically assigns a unique policy number to the company. Then he imports census information
for the company using the electronic file he received from the broker (alternatively, the broker may
import the census himself through the Siebel Agent Portal). Next, he sets up employee classes, and
adds a plan design by adding products for the policy. The plan design information and census data
can be sent to the insurance companys rating engine to generate a quote for this policy.
Next, he uses a template to generate a proposal, which he then sends to the prospect.
Two weeks later, he receives an email message from the broker indicating that the prospect has
called back and will probably purchase a policy, but requires a revised proposal. He selects a group
insurance plan according to the needs of the prospect. Next, he schedules an activity as a reminder
to return the call with the revised premium information.
The prospect accepts the revised proposal. Now the sales representative needs to complete the
procedures necessary to issue a policy. This includes collecting information about group members
and about billing and payment preferences. He follows the procedures implemented by his company
to submit the policy for issuance and billing.

Group Policies Adding Group Policy Records

Adding Group Policy Records


Adding a group policy record is the first step in generating a policy proposal or issuing a group policy.
After end users add a policy record, they must set up employee classes, add a policy plan design,
and generate a policy proposal. If the customer accepts the proposal, they add eligible members,
enroll members who elect coverage under the plan, and set up policy payment plans.

To add a policy record


1

Navigate to the Group Policies screen.

In the Policies/Quotes list, add a record and complete the necessary fields.

Importing Census Information


Insurance companies often receive group insurance census information from external sources. For
example, an insurance broker collects this data and provides it to the insurance company as a comma
separated text file.
End users can use the Group Policies Census view to import the census data into Siebel Healthcare.
NOTE: Census data can also be imported from the Companies Census view.
Both detailed and segmented census data can be imported for each census. Usually, either only
detailed or segmented census information is added for a company. However, both types of census
information can be added.
Census data can also be imported by the originators, such as insurance brokers or employer groups,
using Siebel Agent Portal or Siebel Group Portal. For more information about these two products, see
Siebel Partner Relationship Management Administration Guide Addendum for Industry Applications.
Census data can also be entered manually. See Adding Census Information in the Group Policies
Screen on page 85.

To generate a proposal for this plan, see Generating Proposals for Group Policies on page 89.

How Enrollment Waiting Periods Affect


the Start of Coverage
You can control how Siebel Healthcare calculates the start of coverage by defining the enrollment
waiting period in the Group Policies screen. When you add a Plan Design (see Designing Plans for
Group Policies on page 87), you define Product Classes that you then associate with a specific
product. In the Classes list you can specify the Waiting Period, that is the number of days that must
pass prior to the start of coverage. The actual start of coverage appears in the Effective Date field
in the Group Policies, Enrollment view. The Waiting Period you specify in the Plan Design, Classes list
directly impacts this Effective Date.
By default, Siebel Healthcare has the following defined rules:

If a Waiting Period is specified, the Effective Date is set to the number of waiting days from
todays date.

If a Waiting Period is not specified, the application checks today's date. If that date is before the
15th of the month, the Effective Date is set to the first of the month. If that date is after the 15th
of the month, the Effective Date is set to the first of the following month.

When a user enrolls a new member in the Group Policy, Enrollment view, the Effective Date field
defaults to a value based on these two rules and the application sets the Status field to Waiting.

88

Siebel Healthcare Guide Version 7.7

Group Policies Reconfiguring Customizable Products in Plan Design

The FINS Member Enrollment Rules Workflow enforces these rules. Users can invoke this workflow
by submitting a repeating component job request that repeats every 24 hours in batch mode. It
checks the Effective Date of existing enrollment records and updates the Status from Waiting to
Active if:

The Effective Date of a record is less than or equal to todays date

The Status is still set to Waiting

For more information on component job requests, see Siebel System Administration Guide.

Reconfiguring Customizable Products in


Plan Design
End users can dynamically reconfigure customizable products by using the Customize Plan button in
the Product Attributes list. The Customize Plan button is only available if Siebel Configurator was
installed and the selected product was created as a customizable product in Siebel Configurator. For
more information, see the chapters about customizable products in the Product Administration
Guide.

To dynamically reconfigure customizable products in plan design


1

Navigate to the Group Policies screen.

In the Policies/Quotes list, drill down on a group policy.

Click the Plan Design view tab.

Select the Product Attributes view link.

In the Product list, click Customize Plan.


A configuration session launches and a selection page appears. The changes made in the
configuration session are reflected in the line items in the Attributes list.

Generating Proposals for Group Policies


A proposal is a written quote for a policy. Before generating a proposal, end users must add the
policy, set up classes, and add the policy plan design. Usually, the last step in adding the plan design
is to activate the software program your company uses to rate policies. For more information, see
Designing Plans for Group Policies on page 87.
Proposals are built off of pre-defined templates. For more information on creating proposal
templates, see the chapter on proposals in Applications Administration Guide.
NOTE: Only those with Siebel administrator responsibilities can create or change proposal templates
from the Administration - Document screen.

About Members for Siebel Healthcare


Members are individuals who are insured by an organization. In some cases, members are also
known as policyholders, subscribers, or insureds.
The Members screen allows user to manage insurance policy members. It allows end users to add
and track information about members with whom they do business, such as enrolling them in health
programs; changing a members primary care provider, primary network, or independent practice
association (IPA); or adding service requests or activities for members.

Scenario for Handling Insurance Agent


and Member Inquiries

12 Partners and Agents


Siebel Healthcare allows you to manage partners and agencies.

Partners include service providers, aggregators, and insurance agencies.

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:

Adding agents

Viewing agent information

Creating service requests or activities for agents

Tracking information about contracts, licenses, appointments, registration, errors and omissions,
policies, and quotes

NOTE: Under the Party Model, where contacts include all persons, individuals added in the Agents
business component are also members of the Contacts business component. Agents are a special
subset of contacts who are engaged in the sales of Financial Services products.

Scenario for Working with Partners and


Agents
These scenarios feature sample tasks performed by a health plan company employees. Your company
may follow a different workflow according to its business requirements.
In these scenarios, the end users are company employees who manage information in the field. They
enter information to:

Employee Adds a New Agency


In this scenario, an insurance company uses independent agencies as one of the channels for
distribution of its insurance products. An employee for this insurance company needs to add a newly

13 Referrals and Authorization


Siebel Healthcare allows you to track referrals to other providers and authorizations of specific
healthcare services. Service agents use the Referrals\Authorizations screen to collect the information
required for referral and authorization approval, validate the fields, initiate workflow, and track the
status on behalf of a provider, member, or other inquiring party. This information can then be
integrated with back-office systems using a prebuilt referral and authorization ASI. For more
information, see Chapter 16, Integration.

Scenario for Creating and Authorizing a


Referral
The following business scenario features sample tasks performed by a call center representative for
health plan company. Your company may follow a different workflow according to its business
requirements.
A healthcare provider calls a health plans call center in order to refer a patient to an orthopedic
surgeon. A call center representative receives the call from the provider. The call center
representative first authenticates the provider and then looks up the member on the Members
screen. By looking at the Member Summary view, she verifies the members basic eligibility and
coverages. She then navigates to the Referrals/Authorizations screen. She creates a new referral and
completes the necessary fields. Once she finishes entering the necessary data, she changes the value
in the Status field to Open and sets the Sub-status field to Submitted.

Administrator Procedures for Referrals

14 Providers
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
facilities with a provider, indicate a providers specialties, add profile information (such as provider
skills, background, and business locations and hours), add some provider claims (such as, an outof-service-area claim), view payment information, and print a Provider report.

Scenario for Adding and Managing a New


Provider
This scenario features sample tasks performed by a contracting specialist, a provider relations
representative, and a member service representative. Your company may follow a different workflow
according to its business requirements.
In this scenario, a contracting specialist for a health plan is responsible for managing information
about the healthcare providers with which her company does business. She just established a
contract with a single provider.
She adds the new provider and then adds information about the providers area of specialization.
Next, she adds information about the providers primary location (for example, a medical group or
pharmacy), affiliations (such as hospitals or health networks), and whether or not hospital affiliations
include admitting privileges. After that, she adds information about the providers skills, background,
and clinic locations and hours. Then she adds information about contracts the provider holds with
her company and adds the providers payment preferences.
A provider relations representative provides service for the provider. He uses the:

Encounters view and the Claims view to refer to reports regarding patient visits and claims

Payments view to refer to payments made to the provider

Service Requests view to add service requests such as referral inquiries

Alerts view to add important notes about this provider

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.

Scenario for Billing Accounts


This scenario features sample tasks performed by an insurance agent. Your company may follow a
different workflow according to its business requirements.
An insurance agent creates a new billing account to manage the various policies held by one of her
customers. First, she associates the policies and certain contacts with the billing account. In this
context, a contact can be someone who is responsible for paying the bills associated with an account
or someone associated with the billing account, such as the secondary insured on a policy.
Later, the insurance agent receives a call from one of her contacts. The contact has a problem with
his latest bill. The insurance agent logs a service request against the customers billing account.

End-User Procedures for Billing


Accounts
The following end-user procedures are described in this section:

Creating Billing Account Records on page 119

Associating Billing Accounts with Other Records on page 120

Creating Billing Account Records


End users can add a new billing account record from any Billing Accounts view, including the Contacts
screen, the Companies screen, the Service Requests screen, or the Billing Accounts screen.

Records
Billing accounts can be associated with policies, contacts, companies, service requests, and
households. End users can make the associations directly from the Billing Accounts screen, the
Contacts Billing Accounts view, or the Companies Billing Accounts views.
Billing accounts can only be associated with households through an implicit relationship with a
contact. That is, a billing account must be associated with a contact who is a member of a household
in order for the billing account to be associated with the household. This relationship is then visible
in the Households Billing Accounts view.
