Healthcare shouldn’t be this complicated. Learn the terms that matter to make informed decisions about your health.
A Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC) is a standardized document required by the Affordable Care Act that explains health plan benefits in simple, consistent language. The SBC uses a uniform format to describe covered services, cost-sharing requirements, coverage limitations, and examples of how the plan would cover common medical scenarios. All health plans must provide this document to help consumers compare options.
A Solace advocate can help you interpret SBC documents, compare multiple plans side-by-side, and understand how specific benefits apply to your healthcare needs. Advocates can also help identify important coverage details that may not be immediately apparent in the summary.
