What was checked, when, and what it said
Enrolment system · 834 roster 20 Mar 2026 06:00 Active — coverage effective on the date of service As at date of service
Benefit configuration · plan build 20 Mar 2026 06:00 Service covered under the plan's benefit design As at date of service

Re-verified for this audit 02 Apr 2026 18:01 No retroactive change to enrolment since payment At audit

Both results are kept — the one at adjudication and the one at audit — because an audit months later can only defend a coverage decision if it can show what the record said at each point.
