Description
Return their overlapping duration, the service remainder, and overlap times rate.
Health-benefit calculations depend on explicit eligibility flags, coverage periods, caps, exclusions, and payment order. Applying supplied arithmetic is separate from determining actual insurance terms or a legally payable claim.
Return their overlapping duration, the service remainder, and overlap times rate.
When to use this tool
Use Reimbursement Source Period Gap when you need one transparent benefit or reimbursement component under a declared rule.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter serviceStart, serviceEnd, scheduleStart, scheduleEnd, reimbursableRate. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read supportedDuration, unsupportedDuration, supportedAmount. Use the output convention below.
Require ordered service and schedule intervals and nonnegative reimbursableRate. Return their overlapping duration, the service remainder, and overlap times rate.1

| reimbursableRate | Reimbursable Rate | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| supportedDuration | Supported Duration | Required. Finite number. |
| unsupportedDuration | Unsupported Duration | Required. Finite number. |
| supportedAmount | Supported Amount | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Times share units and the rate is currency per time unit; schedule overlap does not establish claim eligibility, authorization, or actual payment.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Confirm policy terms, verified enrollment, claim eligibility, and appropriate accounting or legal interpretation before relying on a payment result.
