This determines the number of days that the Eligibility Response will remain valid. The Batch Eligibility Job will not run a specific Patient until that number of days has been reached.
Example 1: The Eligibility Time Frame is set to Calendar Month.
- A Patient was scheduled on Monday, February 3, and Eligibility was checked for Monday's Appointment.
- The Patient is scheduled again for Friday, February 21, which is in the same month as the Monday Appointment.
- The Job Scheduler will not run Eligibility for that Patient because Eligibility has already been checked within the same month.
Example 2: The Eligibility Time Frame is set for 7 days.
- A Patient was scheduled on Monday, February 3, and Eligibility was checked for Monday's Appointment.
- The Patient is scheduled again for Friday, February 7, which is in the same week as the Monday Appointment.
- The Job Scheduler will not run Eligibility for that Patient again because the 7-Day Eligibility Time-Frame has not been met.

To prevent excessive Eligibility Checks:
The Batch Eligibility Results Report can be accessed from the Scheduling screen. Individual Patient response results can also be found on the Calendar and Patient Dashboard.
If one Eligibility Check did not go through, the Batch will be labeled, Failed.
This does not mean that the whole batch failed. It could be one or more items that did not go through that causes it to be labeled as Failed.
To see the failed Eligibility checks, select the View link.
If 100% of the Eligibility checks went through, the Batch will be labeled, Success.
