Configuring a benefit
You can configure a new benefit, the basic building block of Pega Product Composer for Healthcare, or copy the information from an existing benefit to save time. A benefit includes sets of code groups that define the benefit, and other parameters such as its name, effective date and end date, insurance line, and line of business.
A benefit has mappings that describe the conditions of a benefit. For example, an Infertility Treatment Outpatient benefit has conditions that indicate place of service, diagnosis code, and service code. The definition of a benefit is fundamental in benefit determination during the claim adjudication process.
