When should you submit for PEPM pricing approval?

• A. When configuring the cart.
• B. After the contract is signed.
• C. During implementation.
• D. Before any pricing is created.

Answer: (A)

PEPM pricing approval should be submitted while configuring the cart. This is the moment when pricing, discounts, and plan terms are being assembled into a formal quote. Getting approval at this stage ensures the per-employee-per-month rates are validated against negotiated terms and prevents price changes later in the process. If you wait until after the contract is signed, any adjustments would require amendments and could slow things down. Approving during implementation is too late to guarantee the quoted price for the customer, and there must be pricing in the system to review in the first place. Securing approval during cart configuration keeps the quote aligned with approved pricing and supports a smoother path to contract and onboarding.
