Outstanding Invoice Listing (BN175)

Processing Effect

When you run BN175 to Report Only, the report lists COBRA participants and retirees with outstanding invoices. An outstanding invoice is an unpaid balance in BN81.1 (Cash Entry) that is over the allowed grace period. The grace period for each COBRA participant's first invoice is defined in the Initial Grace Period field of BN00.2 (COBRA Parameters); the grace period for subsequent COBRA invoices and all retiree invoices is defined in the Grace Period field in BN00.1 (Benefits Company).

You can run the report for COBRA participants, retirees, or both. The list separates COBRA participants and retirees who have and who have not exceeded the grace period. The report lists each COBRA participant's or retiree's occurrence date, election date, invoice number, invoice date, outstanding balance, days past due, and telephone number. If a COBRA participant or retiree has more than one type of benefit, such as health and dental, the premiums for each plan type are treated separately.

When BN175 cancels a benefit, the application changes the stop date of the benefit and the Coverage Terminated - Premium Default field in BN70.2 (Participant Dates) to the system date.
