Appointment Service Validation against Service Agreements

When an Appointment Service is added to an Appointment, Maica Client Care validates that this funding is available with the associated service agreement for a given participant using the following rules:

• If the service agreement only has stated support items funded (in other words, no category funding), then the selected appointment service within an Appointment must have this specific support item associated with it.

• If the service agreement also has category funding (bucket) available, then Maica Client Care will check for any available support item within this funding category associated with the selected appointment service.

In other words, if a given service agreement does not have category (or bucket) funding available, then the exact support item from the service agreement must be present in the selected appointment service. If a given service agreement does have category (or bucket) funding available, then any support item from this category can be used within the appointment service.

Resource Appointment Overlap
