SBC Materials and Supporting Documents

The April 2017 edition of the Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC) template and associated documents has been released.

Health plans and issuers that maintain an annual open enrollment period will be required to use the April 2017 edition of the SBC template and associated documents beginning on the first day of the first open enrollment period that begins on or after April 1, 2017, for plan years beginning on or after that date. For plans and issuers that do not use an annual open enrollment period, this SBC template and associated documents are required beginning on the first day of the first plan year that begins on or after April 1, 2017.
