Legislative Update
New 2014 Summary of Benefits and Coverage Now Available Oct. 1, 2013 for 2-150 Groups

Under the Affordable Care Act, all health insurers and group health plans are required to provide consumers with a Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC). SBCs for plans beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2014, are now available in the SBC Tool.

If you need a 2013 or 2014 template, you will be able to access either version via the plan year drop-down menu on the SBC Tool. 

The Spanish SBCs will be available in November.

The updated training demo of the new SBC Tool is available for viewing. We have provided a PDF copy of the training for your convenience. For quick reference, you can also view this buckslip.

Please send any questions you may have regarding SBCs to your account representative.
