Wiki: BC-B 0580

Coverage Rate Step {optional}#

This component establishes which coverage rate step will be read from the Rates tab.

Benefit Component B0580 should not be used alone, it needs to have at least one other Benefit Component, B0500, to pair with to tell the system which rate step it is to use (in case the plan has more than one rate steps). In the case where there is always only one rate step, one option is to use Benefit Component B0500 with Rule 02 and specify the value of the 'rate step' (such as '1', '01', etc.) in the ‘Value’ field for Component B0500. Another alternate method is to write a simple UserCalc to always return the rate step value (such as '1', '01', etc.), then add Benefit Component B0500 Rule ‘00’ to this plan and attach this simple UserCalc to this component.

Choose the rule to be used as the ‘Coverage Rate Step’ rule.

Rule	Description	Logic	Go to
01	Use Specified Step	Uses the step code to look up the Coverage Rate Step on the Rates tab.	B0600
02*	Determine Step Based on Upper/Lower Limits	Uses the step value to look up the lower and upper limits of the coverage rates from the Rates tab.	B0600
03	Determine Step Based on Step Sequence	Determines the step code based on Stepping By User date.	B0600
04	Determine rate Based on Pay Issue Date	Determines the step rate based on Pay Issue Date
