Automatic update of plan bundles
The Plan Bundle Update feature in Pega Product Composer for Healthcare automatically updates all plan bundles in real time to reflect the new version of the plan. Using this feature results in time-saving for the operation teams.
Customers bundle their healthcare products into a plan bundle for sales purposes. Most of these plans are open-ended, which means that there is no end date specified, but external factors can cause customers to change the end date. When customers configure a new version of a plan by modifying the plan end date, they must manually update every plan bundle that contains the plan so that the plan bundle has the latest version of the plan. By setting these parameters, you control the stages in which the plan bundle update occurs.
- In the header of Dev Studio, click .
- Click the Flow settings tab.
- In the Automatic update for plan bundle section, select all check boxes in the Plan column to indicate the stages when you can configure a new plan version by modifying the plan end date.
- Select all check boxes in the Plan Bundle column to select one
or more stages in which the automatic update of the plan bundle will occur.This update occurs only when a new version of its plan is configured by modifying the end date during a specified stage.
- When you finish your selections, click Actions > Save as system configuration.
Configuring a plan bundle
In Pega Product Composer for Healthcare, a plan bundle is an aggregation of different stand-alone plans that are sold as one item. For example, a plan bundle might include specific medical, dental, vision, and pharmacy plans.
A fixed bundle is one where the products are always sold together. For example, when you enroll in ABC Medical, you automatically are enrolled in the plans that were configured in the bundle.
