SBC - COBRA Continuation Rights, Appeals, Minimum Essential Coverage
The SBC explains an enrollee's right to continue coverage under COBRA, how to submit appeals or file a grievance for claims, and confirms whether or not Minimum Essential Coverage and Minimum Value Standards are met by the plan.
This is the standard format for all SBCs up until April 1, 2017. Please refer to the SBC in question for details specific to that plan. The layout may differ but the same information will exist.
