  • If the Type is different, change them to be the same.
  • Billable
  • Non-Billable
  • Policy-Holder Only
  • If the Employers are sent across an interface, the merge will set the Employer as inactive rather than deleting it.

  • If CPTs are used on the Employers, they must be the same on both Employers.
  • The names of the Employers must be exactly the same.

***Example of an Employer scenario that cannot be Merged

If the merge rules are not met, when you select one of the checkboxes, the other Employer will disappear.
  1. The names are exactly the same and both appear in the Merge list.

  1. However, if one of the checkboxes is selected, the System removes the other Employer because the employers do not meet the merge criteria.

  1. Reason: One Employer Type is Billable and the other is Non-billable.
    1. If both are changed to be the same, they can be merged.

  1. When the Non-billable Type is changed to Billable, they can now be merged.
