|
Benefit Plan Description |
The field displays the description of the benefit plan. |
Coverage Option |
The employee's coverage automatically displays in this field. However, the dependent can have a different coverage option if different coverages and rates apply. If this coverage option uses a rate table, Costpoint uses the Dependent Rate per $1,000 to calculate the dependent portion of the premium that is added to the employee's premium. Otherwise, Costpoint calculates the dependent's premium and adds it to the employee's premium only if the coverage options are different. If you choose to override the default, the coverage option must be valid for this plan (as established on the Coverage Options subtask of the Manage Benefit Plans screen). The coverage option cannot be NO CVG. If the dependent's coverage option differs from the employee's coverage option, Costpoint displays a warning message. However, you can update the dependent's coverage option. If the dependents selected by the employee do not match the option selected in the Dependents Eligible field on the Coverage Options subtask of the Manage Benefit Plans screen, an error or a warning may display, depending on the Enrollment Rules Edit Method selected on the Configure Benefit Settings screen. |
