Documentation

Definition

Expression of the Business Rule Framework (BRF) for calculation of the disbursement amount for a claim item.

Use

Usually the system uses multiplication to calculate the disbursement amount, like:

Quantity (of claim item) TIMES amount per quantity

If you want to use a method other than multiplication to calculate the disbursement amount, define a corresponding BRF expression in this field.

Dependencies

Example

You need such a BRF expression to determine the per diem hospital benefit, for example:

A claim is made for 35 days (quantity of claim item) per diem hospital benefit. The entitlement is EUR 100 per day (amount per quantity).

The disbursement amount should now be calculated as follows:

• for the first 10 days of the hospital stay, 50% of the maximum amount (in other words, 10 x 50 = EUR 500)
• the next 10 days, 75% (in other words, 10 x EUR 75 = EUR 750)
• for the remaining days, 100% (in other words, 15 x EUR 100 = EUR 1,500)

  The disbursement amount is therefore EUR 2,750 and not EUR 3,500.

Define a corresponding BRF expression.
