The April 2017 edition of the Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC) template and associated documents has been released.

For plans and issuers that do not use an annual open enrollment period, this SBC template and associated documents are required beginning on the first day of the first plan year that begins on or after April 1, 2017.
