In this step, you define the actual costs for an insurance plan.

You need to define costs for each possible combination of employee grouping in the criteria you have attributed to each variant. If you have not specified any criteria in a variant, you assign one rule only.

An insurance plan can have flat costs or costs based on coverage.

In the cost rules, you need only specify an amount if the plan has flat costs. If cost is based on coverage, you need to specify the cost factor per base unit (for example, $0.15/$1,000).

The system calculates cost as follows:

(Coverage amount / Base unit) * Cost factor = Benefit cost

Example

The Standard Life insurance plan offers the following coverages:

  • $40,000
  • $70,000

The total cost of the plan is based directly on the coverage chosen by the employee.

The plan also uses the parameter group STRD to define different costs for employees in different salary and age groups, and smokers/non-smokers.

The cost rule for cost variant STLI is set up as follows:

SalGrp    AgeGrp    Smoker    EE factor    ER factor    Provider factor

0020    0139    x    0.15    0.10    0.24

0020    0139        0.12    0.10    0.21

0020    4099    x    0.19    0.10    0.28

0020    4099        0.15    0.10    0.24

2099    0139    x    0.12    0.10    0.21

2099    0139        0.10    0.10    0.19

2099    4099    x    0.15    0.10    0.24

2099    4099        0.12    0.10    0.21

  • The base unit in all these cost rules is $1,000.
  • The employee cost per $1,000 of coverage varies, depending on the employee's salary, age and smoker criteria.
  • The employer cost is $0.10 for all employees.
  • The sum of the employee and employer cost is greater than the provider cost in order to cover administrative costs.

Activities

  1. Determine the different costs that apply to different groups of employees in your organization.
  2. Select the plan and cost variant for which you want to define cost rules, as prompted.
  3. Choose New entries.
  4. Enter the combination of employee groupings for which you want to define costs.

    To help you, the system will only allow you to enter those employee groupings that you defined as relevant in the cost variant.

  5. Enter the validity dates for the rule.
  6. Enter the employee costs, employer costs/credit and provider costs as either flat amounts or factors of coverage

    If you enter a factor, you must also enter a base unit.

  7. If required, specify how costs are to be rounded.

    Note that rounding takes place on the basis of the period which you set in the variant, and which is displayed in this view for informational purposes. Values are first calculated for this period and then rounded.

  8. Save your entries.
  9. Choose Back and repeat steps 2 to 8 for each combination of employee grouping, for each cost variant in each plan.
