Proposed 2017 Essential Health Benefits Benchmark Plans
The Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight has released a list of proposed 2017 Essential Health Benefits (EHB) benchmark plans for all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires non-grandfathered health plans in the individual and small group markets to cover EHBs, which includes items and services in ten benefit categories. For plan year 2017, the EHB benchmark plan is a plan that was sold in 2014. CCIIO is accepting public comments on the proposed benchmark plans until September 30, 2015.
