Configuring a plan bundle is optional. A plan bundle is an aggregation of different stand-alone plans that are sold as one item. A plan bundle is used to group plans such as medical, dental, vision, and pharmacy and market them as a bundle.

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. A choice bundle means that you can add multiple plans of the same type, for example, medical, when you configure the plan bundle.

Before you begin

Ensure that you have created the healthcare insurance plan. See Configuring the healthcare insurance plan.

Although you have not created another plan in this tutorial, a Pharmacy plan exists that will be used as an example for this procedure.

Procedure

4. In the Line of business list, click Commercial.
