bCaM Rate Import Process

Select the appropriate group and click on the “Benefit Plans” tab.
When adding an active custom benefit plan, select the appropriate rate type.
After you’ve completed the setup for the benefit plan, you will select the appropriate plan from the list of active benefit plans.
Mid-way through the selected benefit plan, you will see a Rate Import option, as seen below:

During the rate import process, you will first generate the rate template spreadsheet (unless you already have an existing spreadsheet). Once you’ve retrieved the rate template you will fill in the necessary fields, save the file and import the rates into the system.
To import the rates click on the “Import Rates” button. This will populate the required data fields, outlined in the image below.

Enter a value within the “Rate Name” and “Effective Date” fields.
*Please note, you may add additional regions as needed. Regions may be added by clicking on the "Add Rate" option listed below the "Effective Date". If you have a spreadsheet that corresponds to the respective rate type you may upload the spreadsheet without generating a new one.

Once you’ve entered the various rate names and corresponding effective dates, click on the “Generate Spreadsheet” button. This will open an Excel file with the respective format at the bottom of your browser.
Open the Excel file and enter the applicable rates in the “Rate” column. You may also copy and paste this information from an existing file.
After you’ve prepared your rate file for import, depending on the browser you are using click the “Choose File” or “Browse” option.
A new window will popup allowing you to access your files (see below). After you’ve selected the appropriate file from your desktop and clicked “open” the file will appear in the folder menu as the selected file.

Click the "Upload" button, to import the rates.

Once the rates are imported, you will be redirected to the benefit plan, main page, as seen below; in order to review or edit the rates, click on the plan for which the rates were imported.

After you’ve selected the desired plan, you will see the imported rates. At this point you can edit, modify or delete the rates using the buttons outlined below.
