Legislative Update
November 2013 Legislative Highlights Sheet Available

As a resource to accounts looking for the latest information regarding the Affordable Care Act (ACA), we develop monthly “legislative highlight sheets” for you. These highlights help you stay current on the legislation that affects you the most.

This month’s highlight sheet shares information about federal guidance issued on the individual mandate, details on the Health Insurance Marketplace open enrollment and special enrollment periods, and updates on the Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC) and the SBC Tool. Additionally, you’ll find FAQs on the 90-day waiting period, a link to a flier about clinical trials, and popular questions regarding appeals and external review, grandfathering, and minimum essential coverage.

If you have any questions about ACA, please submit your questions to your account representative.
