Step 5: Setting or changing the default benefit and changing benefit categories
When you create a plan, you set a default benefit for each benefit category according to your business needs. You set a default benefit to best represent the cost share for the benefit category. The cost share, such as copay or coinsurance, on the benefit category displays in a Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC) document.
When you create a plan, you can change the benefit category assignments. For example, you might change the benefit category for the Office visit benefit from Inpatient services as defined during benefit creation to Outpatient services.
For this tutorial, you change the default benefit.
