Summary of Benefit Plans

The Summary of Benefits and Coverage is a simple and standardized four-page comparison tool that is intended to help consumers better understand and compare available health insurance options. There are four main sections – Important Questions, Common Medical Events, Excluded Services & Other Covered Services and Coverage Examples. The Coverage Examples reflect scenarios for Having a Baby and Managing Type II Diabetes. These Coverage Examples are based on presumptions of what services a person may receive over a year of each scenario. The Coverage Examples do not reflect the actual cost to the enrollee.

Some terms in the Summary of Benefits and Coverage appear in bold and are underlined. These terms are defined in the Uniform Glossary, a companion document to the SBC. These definitions are intended to improve consumer understanding of common terms and do not necessarily reflect the plan’s definition of the same term.

While this information may be helpful, employees should refer to other plan material, such as the Choices booklet for more comprehensive coverage and benefit information, prior to making a decision regarding choosing a health plan.
