The PAYER_PLAN_PERIOD table captures details of the period of time that a Person is continuously enrolled under a specific health Plan benefit structure from a given Payer. Each Person receiving healthcare is typically covered by a health benefit plan, which pays for (fully or partially), or directly provides, the care. These benefit plans are provided by payers, such as health insurances or state or government agencies. In each plan the details of the health benefits are defined for the Person or her family, and the health benefit Plan might change over time typically with increasing utilization (reaching certain cost thresholds such as deductibles), plan availability and purchasing choices of the Person. The unique combinations of Payer organizations, health benefit Plans and time periods in which they are valid for a Person are recorded in this table.
The PAYER_PLAN_PERIOD table captures details of the period of time that a Person is continuously enrolled under a specific health Plan benefit structure, from a certain sponsor, from a given Payer and within the same family. Each Person receiving healthcare is typically covered by a health benefit plan, which determines what health care services will be paid for (fully or partially). A sponsor (usually an employer group or government or the payer itself) holds the financial responsibility for the reimbursement, and the financial transaction of adjudicating the eligible plan-benefit and reimbursing the service provider is administered by the payer. In each plan the details of the health benefits are defined for the Person or her family, and the health benefit Plan might change over time typically with increasing utilization (reaching certain cost thresholds such as deductibles), plan availability and purchasing choices of the Person. The unique combinations of Payer organizations, health benefit Plans and time periods in which they are valid for a Person are recorded in this table.

### Conventions
* Different Payers have different designs for their health benefit Plans. The PAYER_PLAN_PERIOD table does not capture all details of the plan design or the relationship between Plans or the cost of healthcare triggering a change from one Plan to another. However, it allows identifying the unique combination of Payer (insurer), Plan (determining healthcare benefits and limits) and Person. Typically, depending on healthcare utilization, a Person may have one or many subsequent Plans during coverage by a single Payer.
* Typically, family members are covered under the same Plan as the Person. In those cases, the payer_source_value, plan_source_value and family_source_value are identical.

* **sponsor:** who finances the transaction. **payer:** who administers the transaction. **plan:** the actual contract being administered by the payer and agreed by the sponsor. **stop reason:** reason for termination of the contract
 * Source values of the Payer, Plan, Sponsor, Family are captured as the respective _source_value. Concept_id's are used to support standardized analysis, similar to other OMOP CDM tables that use _source_concept_id and _concept_id.
* Typically, family members are covered under the same Plan as the Person. In those cases, the payer_source_value, plan_source_value and family_source_value are identical
