clsRateTier

Represents a risk-type or rate-tier code row. The class resolves the effective rate-tier-factor rows that apply to one risk-type code over time.

Purpose

• Represents a risk-type or rate-tier code row.
• The class resolves the effective rate-tier-factor rows that apply to one risk-type code over time.

Context

• Namespace: SAIF.Business.Policy.Rating
• Assembly/package: SAIF.Business.Policy.Rating

Member	Signature	Purpose
Code	Public ReadOnly Property Code() As String	Risk type code that identifies this rate tier row.
EffectiveDate	Public ReadOnly Property EffectiveDate() As Date	Start date from which this rate tier row is in force.
ExpirationDate	Public ReadOnly Property ExpirationDate() As Date	End date after which this rate tier row no longer applies; empty means open-ended.
IsActive	Public ReadOnly Property IsActive(ByVal inDate As Date) As Boolean	True when the supplied date falls within the tier's effective window.
IsDefault	Public ReadOnly Property IsDefault() As Boolean	Marks the default tier for its market type, effective date, and MCO/IHC option combination.
IsIntegratedHealthCare	Public ReadOnly Property IsIntegratedHealthCare() As Boolean	Marks tiers intended for policies that chose Integrated Health Care.
IsManagedCareOrganization	Public ReadOnly Property IsManagedCareOrganization() As Boolean	Marks tiers intended for policies that chose a Managed Care Organization.
MarketType	Public ReadOnly Property MarketType() As Policy.Enums.MarketTypes	Market type enum resolved from the stored market type code.
Rank	Public ReadOnly Property Rank() As Decimal	Tier ranking within rows that share the same market type, effective period, and MCO/IHC options.
RateTierFactors	Public ReadOnly Property RateTierFactors() As IEnumerable(Of clsRateTierFactor)	Returns the loaded clsRateTierFactor rows whose risk-type code matches this tier's code.
RateTierFactor	Public ReadOnly Property RateTierFactor(ByVal inAsOfDate As Date) As clsRateTierFactor	Returns the first effective-dated factor row for this tier code whose range covers the requested as-of date.
IsEffectiveDateNull	Public Function IsEffectiveDateNull() As Boolean	Indicates whether the effective date field is empty.
IsExpirationDateNull	Public Function IsExpirationDateNull() As Boolean	Indicates whether the expiration date field is empty.
Equals	Public Overloads Shared Function Equals(ByVal objA As Object, ByVal objB As Object) As Boolean	Returns True only when both operands are rate tiers with the same code.
Equals	Public Overloads Overrides Function Equals(ByVal inObject As Object) As Boolean	Uses the typed rate-tier comparison for another clsRateTier; otherwise returns False.
Equals	Public Overloads Function Equals(ByVal inObject As clsRateTier) As Boolean	Treats two rate tier rows as equal when their Code values match.
GetHashCode	Public Overrides Function GetHashCode() As Integer	Hashes Code, the value this type uses as its identity key in keyed collections.
ToString	Public Overrides Function ToString() As String	Uses the rate tier code as the object's string representation.
GetRateTier	Public Shared Function GetRateTier(ByVal inDataportal As IDataPortalInfo, ByVal inCode As String) As clsRateTier	Retrieves the a risk-type or rate-tier code row identified by the key values or effective-date criteria supplied by the caller.
GetDefaultRateTier	Public Shared Function GetDefaultRateTier(ByVal inDataportal As IDataPortalInfo, ByVal inMarketType As Policy.Enums.MarketTypes, ByVal inEffectiveDate As Date, Optional ByVal inIsManagedCareOrganization As Boolean = False, Optional ByVal inIsIntegratedHealthCare As Boolean = False) As clsRateTier	Retrieves the default rate tier for the supplied market type, effective date, and managed-care flags.
GetSAIFQuoteDefaultRateTier	Public Shared Function GetSAIFQuoteDefaultRateTier(ByVal inDataportal As IDataPortalInfo, ByVal inMarketType As Policy.Enums.MarketTypes, ByVal inEffectiveDate As Date) As clsRateTier	Returns the hard-coded SAIF Quote default rate tier that corresponds to the supplied market type and effective date.
Code	Public Property Code() As String	Criteria code used to retrieve one specific RISK_TYPE_CODE row.
MarketType	Public Property MarketType() As Policy.Enums.MarketTypes	Market type criterion used when retrieving the default rate tier instead of a specific code.
EffectiveDate	Public Property EffectiveDate() As Date	Effective-date criterion used to find the default tier in force for a market type.
IsManagedCareOrganization	Public Property IsManagedCareOrganization() As Boolean	Converts the MCO criterion to the Y/N flag used in default-tier retrieval SQL.
IsIntegratedHealthCare	Public Property IsIntegratedHealthCare() As Boolean	Converts the IHC criterion to the Y/N flag used in default-tier retrieval SQL.
New	Public Sub New(ByVal inDataPortalInfo As IDataPortalInfo)	Creates an empty BOF object shell that shared factory methods or retrieval logic can populate with a loaded row.
New	Public Sub New(ByVal inDataPortalInfo As IDataPortalInfo, ByVal inCode As String)	Creates a criteria-backed instance seeded with inCode so the next retrieval runs in the caller's requested context.
New	Public Sub New(ByVal inDataPortalInfo As IDataPortalInfo, ByVal inMarketType As Policy.Enums.MarketTypes, ByVal inEffectiveDate As Date, ByVal inIsManagedCareOrganization As Boolean, ByVal inIsIntegratedHealthCare As Boolean)	Creates an empty BOF object shell that shared factory methods or retrieval logic can populate with a loaded row.

BeginEdit	Sub BeginEdit()	Opens an n-level edit session for the business object.†

## Behavioral notes
- The type filters the shared rate-tier-factor collection down to rows for its own code, then resolves the first row whose range covers the requested date.
## Constraints and usage notes
- Use RateTierFactor(inAsOfDate) when you need the effective multiplier row; RateTierFactors exposes every loaded row for the tier code.
