Editing the Plan overview tab

Updated on April 12, 2021

The Plan overview page of the SBC document contains the plan high-level information such as overall deductible and out-of-pocket values. You edit the information on the Plan overview tab so that it reflects the information about your products or plans.

Members use this section of the SBC document to understand some of the health plan’s costs, including deductible amounts and out-of-pocket limits. This section also contains information on coverage for different networks, based on the structure of your products and plans.

In the header, the product name or plan name, Coverage period, Coverage for, and Plan Type fields are populated from your product or plan when you create the SBC documents within your product or plan.

By clicking on the blue hyperlinks, you are directed to a healthcare glossary of medical terms.

Information about how the values are determined includes the following:
  • The values for the deductible and out-of-pocket (OOP) expenses in the What is the overall deductible? and the What is the out-of-pocket limit for this plan? questions in the Answers column come from the values on the networks in the applicable product or plan. If there is no overall deductible, the value is $0. If there are no out-of-pocket limits, the value is Not Applicable.
  • The statements for the deductible and out-of-pocket (OOP) expenses in the Why This Matters column are based on the calculation method selected for the network deductible and OOP in the product or plan.
