• Message number: 249

• Message text: Benefit type &1 is both cross-coverage type and for certain coverage type

What causes this issue?

Benefit type &V1& can be used across coverage types as well as for one
specific coverage type.

System Response

It is not possible to accurately assign deductions resulting from
limits and deductibles to payments. A cross-coverage type deduction
must be distributed to the subclaim and coverage types
because reserves are set per subclaim.
It is no longer possible to differentiate between these distributed
values and the deductions of the benefit type in the subclaim.

How to fix this error?

Use a different benefit type in one of the two areas.
