Tip Tuesday! What to Include in an SBC

By Linda Rowings


A Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC) must contain:
  • Uniform definitions of standard insurance terms and medical terms (provided in the glossary)
  • A description of the coverage for certain categories of benefits
  • The exceptions, reductions, and limitations of the coverage
  • The cost-sharing provisions of the coverage (deductible, coinsurance, and copayment obligations)
  • A statement as to whether the plan offers minimum essential and minimum value coverage
  • The renewability and continuation of coverage provisions
  • Coverage examples
  • A statement that the SBC is only a summary and that the plan document, policy, certificate, or contract of insurance should be consulted to determine the governing contractual provisions of the coverage
