1. Enrollee identification for eligibility processing and eligibility verification.
2. Payroll deduction and state contribution for state employees.
3. Billing of contracting agencies for employee and employer contributions.
4. Reports to the CalPERS and other state agencies.
5. Coordination of benefits among health plans.
6. Resolution of member complaints, grievances and appeals with health plans.
