!!!HOW ARE COSTS CALCULATED IN OPEN ENROLLMENT
The system will first check to see what Rate Basis the costs are by checking the [Rate Basis|RATE_BASIS] field in the Coverage Details of [IBPN]. Using that basis, the system will first calculate the annual cost and will then calculate the monthly cost. To determine the period costs the system will use the [Times Per Year|TIMES_PER_YEAR] amount defined for the Open Enrollment type Pay Category. 

The following scenarios depict how the Year, Month, Period costs are calculated using different rate basis. Each scenario uses a different frequency.
