	RE:	New Look for WebREVS


Background	In early January 2007, the Web site where you verify eligibility for 
MassHealth members (www.massrevs.eds.com), also referred to as 
WebREVS, will have a more user-friendly look.  You will now be able to 
navigate our Web site with greater ease.  In order to ensure the success 
of this change, REVS has made necessary Internet connectivity changes 
to allow for increased usage of WebREVS.


Enhancements	The functionality that you have experienced with WebREVS up to now will 
remain intact within the new appearance of WebREVS, but we will add 
some new features that will help reduce the time it takes to verify 
eligibility.  These changes are described below.

Login and Change Password Pages  
We will move the password-change feature from the Login page to a new 
Change Password page.  This function will be available as a new menu 
option, after you log in to WebREVS.  WebREVS will continue to provide 
the automatic user prompt to change the password if the password has 
expired or if you are logging in to WebREVS for the first time. 

Location of WebREVS Menu Options
The menu to select various functions on WebREVS will be located on the 
right side of the screens, to match the conventions in the other 
MassHealth Web pages.

Options to Enter Date of Service and Date of Birth 
The date-of-service and date-of-birth fields on the eligibility verification 
and claim status pages will let you enter the date directly, instead of by 
selecting the date from a list of values.  We will also add a calendar 
feature, so you can select the date by clicking on the desired date on the 
calendar.

Enhancements(cont.)		Eligibility Verification Page  
The data fields associated with the name-search feature will appear 
beneath the member ID to verify eligibility.  We decided to move these 
fields because the name-search feature is one of the more popular 
methods of verifying eligibility. 

Claim Status Inquiry Page 
We will move the member name, date of birth, and gender information to 
the “Additional Member Information” section on the Claim Status Inquiry 
page (since REVS does not use this information to retrieve claims).  
These fields will be set to default values so that you will no longer need to 
enter this information.  This enhancement should reduce the amount of 
time you spend verifying the status of claims.


Questions	If you have any questions about the information in this bulletin, please call
