Definition

Indicates the different benefit type tree for Losses for this combination of internal claim type, subclaim type, and coverage type.

Use

Use the different benefit type tree if the following conditions are met simultaneously:

  • The setup of the benefit type tree for a policy product should differ, depending on the internal claim type or subclaim type.
  • The benefit type used by default does not contain any suitable benefit type that you could use.

Example: You want to specify different limits or deductibles for a benefit type, depending on the incident type, internal claim type, or subclaim type.

Assignment of Benefit Type Trees

Benefit type trees can be assigned as follows:

  • You can assign benefit type trees with a Mixed category to a coverage type in IMG activity Configure Policy Products and to a subclaim type in IMG activity Configure Internal Claim Types.

    The following rules have to be adhered to:

    • With benefit type trees that are assigned to a coverage type in IMG activity Configure Policy Products, the system only reads those benefit types belonging to the Compensation category.
    • With benefit type trees that are assigned to a subclaim type in IMG activity Configure Internal Claim Types, the system only reads those benefit types that belong to the Expenses category.
  • You assign benefit type trees belonging to the Compensation category to a permitted coverage type in IMG activity Configure Policy Products.

    The following rules have to be adhered to:

    • If the benefit types of the benefit type tree are to be valid for just one permitted coverage type, assign the benefit type tree to this coverage type.
    • If the benefit types of the benefit type tree are to be valid across coverage types, assign the benefit type tree to the policy product at the Version of Policy Product level.
      • In this way you can define cross-coverage type deductibles, for example.

  • You assign benefit type trees belonging to the Expenses category to a subclaim type in IMG activity Configure Internal Claim Types.

    The following rules have to be adhered to:

    • If the benefit types of the benefit type tree are to be valid for just one permitted subclaim type, assign the benefit type tree to this subclaim type.
    • If the benefit types of the benefit type tree are to be valid for the claim header, in other words across subclaim types, create an entry without specifying a subclaim type. Leave the subclaim type field empty, and define a benefit type tree for this entry. This is valid for the claim header.

Note: The Claims Management system continues to support benefit type trees (regardless of category) that were defined in IMG activity Configure Internal Claim Types before Release 4.72. First of all the system checks whether a benefit type tree has been defined in IMG activity Define Policy Products. If the system does not find any such benefit type tree, it uses the benefit type tree defined for the subclaim type in IMG activity Configure Internal Claim Types. The benefit types belonging to the Compensation category are also read from here.

Dependencies

By default, the benefit type tree that is used is the one that is assigned to the relevant combination of policy product and coverage type. You can override this by specifying a different benefit type tree.

Consider the following:

  • Leave the Benefit Type field empty if you specify a different benefit type tree.
  • The different benefit type tree should only contain benefit types in the Losses category.
  • As the benefit type tree is only valid for a subclaim type, you cannot define any cross-subclaim limits and deductibles.

Example

Benefit type RD01 (clearing-up costs) belongs to coverage type BC01 (building).

  • For the subclaim type Outside of Building there should be no deductible for benefit type RD01.
  • For the subclaim type Inside of Building there should be a deductible for benefit type RD01.

You define a benefit type with deductible: DD01. Then you define two different benefit type trees:

  • In one of them, DD01 is the higher-level node of RD01. RD01 is assigned to the subclaim type Inside.
  • In the other benefit type tree, RD01 is not subordinate to DD01.

Note:

The simpler solution would be to use two different benefit types:

  • RD01 for Outside of Building
  • RD02 for Inside of Building

In this case you only need one benefit type tree.
