New Affordable Care Act Policy Helps Consumers Better Understand and Compare Benefits and Coverage
Wed, 17 Aug 2011 00:01:00 -0500
Today, the Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS), Labor, and the Treasury proposed new rules under the Affordable Care Act that will enable consumers to easily understand their health coverage and determine the best health insurance options for themselves and their families. Likewise, these proposed rules will assist employers in finding the best coverage for their business and their employees. Under the proposed rules announced today, health insurers and group health plans will provide consumers with clear, consistent and comparable information about their health plan benefits and coverage. The new forms, scheduled to be available in 2012, will be a critical resource for more than 180 million health insurance consumers with private health insurance coverage.
