Order ID Card Microjourney
With the Order ID Card Microjourney™, customers can request identification cards for themselves or other members of their family. The request might be due to lost cards, a change in primary care physician, or a change in the health plan.
Business value
Health plan member ID cards provide quick access to information that is needed for medical care, such as the plan ID number and copay amounts. Doctors’ offices keep copies of their patients' cards on file and confirm the information at each visit. Missing or outdated cards interrupt customers’ care and create anxious moments.
By deploying the Order ID Microjourney, healthcare organizations can quickly and proactively address ID card requests. Business analysts can update screen layouts or business logic directly in App Studio. The Microjourney also includes an extensible deflection step to avoid unnecessary and costly print runs. For example, this step can be used to educate customers about accessing ID cards in self-service channels.
Extensions to this Microjourney are described in Extending the Microjourney.

Extending the Microjourney
To open the Order ID Card Microjourney In App Studio, click
, and then click . Extension points that must be updated in Dev Studio are noted below. You can configure the feature displays in App Studio.Stage 1 - Select Plan
In this stage, use the Capture event process only when Cassandra is used as the data store for the customer timeline gadget in the member composite, which requires a license for Pega Customer Decision Hub.
The Check plan status process is deprecated. This process includes business logic for which members can be serviced with this Microjourney, for example, by enabling subscribers, but not dependents, to order new cards. Pega recommends that clients extend the IsActivePlanSelected when rule, which has the added benefit of only displaying the microjourney in the Add Task menu when appropriate. Clients who are upgrading may continue to use the deprecated rule for now, but it will be removed in a future release.
The Display existing requests step uses Case match rules to alert agents when an order ID card request is already in-progress for the member. These rules help organizations avoid costly duplicate print runs and mailings. Case match rules are configurable in Dev Studio only.
Stage 2 - Order ID Cards
