Details of a Health Insurance product/plan provided by an organization.

8.31.1 Scope and Usage

A product is a discrete package of health insurance coverage benefits that are offered under a particular network type. A given payer’s products typically differ by network type and/or coverage benefits. A plan pairs the health insurance coverage benefits under a product with the particular cost sharing structure offered to a consumer. A given product may comprise multiple plans.

InsurancePlan describes a health insurance offering comprised of a list of covered benefits (i.e. the product), costs associated with those benefits (i.e. the plan), and additional information about the offering, such as who it is owned and administered by, a coverage area, contact information, etc.

8.31.2 Boundaries and Relationships
