With the Smart Update feature of Pega Product Composer for Healthcare, you can update existing entities, replicate entities, or create new versions of entities at one time. For example, use Smart Update to update benefit sets, product templates, products, and plans for portfolio renewal, implementation of regulatory changes, and error correction.

This functionality means that you can use Smart Update to change only one setting or you can change many parameters all at one time. For example, if you needed to change the telehealth benefit to have no member cost-sharing across your entire book of business, you can complete that task in one Smart Update case.

When you use Smart Update, you can update benefit sets, product templates, products, and plans in that order or you can update any one of the entities by starting directly with that entity.

Use Smart Update to perform the following tasks:

• Add new benefits and groupers or new versions of benefits and groupers to existing or new benefit sets or to a new version of a benefit set
• Create new product templates, create a new version of an existing product template, and update existing

  You can perform these same tasks on benefit sets, products, and plans.

• Update benefit and network coverages within the context of the product template, product, or plan
