Hide annual cost by plan in the Redwood Benefit Enrollment pages

You can now hide the plan’s annual cost on the following redwood benefit pages:

  • Plan view details in the enrollment guided process.
  • Plan enroll details in the enrollment guided process.
  • Plan type grouping total cost in the enrollment guided process.
  • Review and submit in the enrollment guided process.
  • View all enrollments in self-service benefits.
  • View enrollments in benefits summary.

A new field named Hide annual rate is added to the Additional Configuration step in plan configuration. This field is informational and only displays if the rate is hidden in the enrollment pages. By default, the Hide annual rate field is disabled. When this field is enabled for a plan, it applies to all the annual costs for all rates for the plan and for all options under the plan.
