- Note: For more details about the insurance categories/classes refer to the “Adding an Insurance Class” guide.
The Percentage Borne by the Insured and the Insurance Company
Both the insured and the insurance company bear a percentage of the product or service cost, known as the “Co-payment percentage.”
When you specify the percentage for either party, the system automatically calculates the remaining cost borne by the other party.
For example, if you set a 60% co-payment percentage for the insurance company (Company Co-payment), the client will automatically bear a 40% co-payment percentage (Client Co-payment).
Also, the system allows you to set a maximum copayment for both parties. As well as adding a discount to the co-payment cost for the client, not the insurance company. This discount is applied after splitting the co-payment percentage between the client and the insurance company.
Adding a new category/class to an existing agent,
Click on “Manage Insurance Agent” from the main menu
under “Insurance Agent“,
select the desired agent/company.
After entering the insurance company’s profile, click on ‘New Class,‘ as shown in the following image:
