Changes to The Electronic Correspondence Referral System (ECRS) Web to Prevent the Creation of Non-Group Health Plan (NGHP) Self Report that are Not Synchronized with the Common Working File (CWF)

The purpose of this Change Request (CR) is to inform the MACs of an update to remove the ability to create self-reported NGHP records in the Benefits Coordination and Recovery System (BCRS) and ECRS. These records are currently not in sync with the NGHP MSP records that transmit to the Part D plans.
