Step 4: Configuring cost shares and accumulators for your product template

Updated on September 10, 2021

You define individual cost ranges for your product template. These values are inherited at the product, plan, benefit, and network levels, which saves you time during the configuration of these entities. Based on the increment that you select, the cost share ranges are displayed in a list when you select specific cost share values in your product. You can also define the order of which cost shares are applied during claim adjudication.

Before you begin

Ensure that you selected a benefit set. For additional information, see Step 3: Selecting a benefit set for your product template.

Procedure

  1. Click Set default cost share ranges and select Medium from the list.
    Values are filled in for all the cost shares. The value in the Increment field defines how much the value of the cost share increases within the range of low to high.
  2. To edit the copayment:
    1. In the Copay row, in the Contributes to column, click the Configure the contributions of copay icon.
    2. In the dialog box, select the all check boxes and click Submit.
      This means that the copayment contributes to both the family's and the individual's deductible and out-of-pocket expenses.
    3. Repeat steps a and b in the Coinsurance row.
