The "Plan Summary/Comparison" tab allows you to show comparisons of plans for employees when they are eligible for multiple plans, such as medical, dental, and vision benefits.
Administrators would only want to do this if employees could choose between two or three plans. If a client offers three or four medical plans, but employees are only eligible for one of the offerings, this comparison would not be beneficial.
- Expand Settings and click Benefit Management from the menu.
- Click the name of the new benefit package.
- Click the Configure Enrollment Screens tab.
- Click the Plan Summary/Comparison tab.
- Select a Plan - Select the plan that you want to enter "In Network Value" and "Out of Network" values for.
- Add - Select the number of rows that you will add. The rows added will be present for all plans, allowing you to provide the in and out-of-network values for each plan being compared.
After adding your rows, enter the in and out-of-network values as provided by your carrier partner. The rows added should compare the same data, such as annual deductible, out-of-pocket maximums, lab & x-rays, emergency room visits, out-patient hospital services, etc. This information can generally be found in the plan summary from your carrier partner.
