Legislative Update
Affordable Care Act: Important Note about Spanish Summary of Benefits and Coverage

This information applies to fully insured employer groups with up to 150 employees.

We are completing the Spanish translation of the Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC) for Standard Plans. All Spanish SBCs must be requested through the Summary of Benefits and Coverage Hotline at 855-756-4448

When you receive the Spanish SBCs, you will notice that on some of them, the "Important Questions/Answers/Why This Matters" chart on the first page rolls over to the second page. There is no need to be concerned, as this minor change in the format is permitted in order to include all of the information.  

For additional information, please reference the Department of Labor FAQ VIII
