More SBC and Glossary Information

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act requires group health plans and health insurance issuers offering group and individual coverage to provide a Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC) and Glossary of Health Coverage and Medical Terms in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner under certain circumstances.

When populations speaking Spanish, Chinese, Tagalog or Navajo reach 10 percent of the population in a county, federal regulations require SBCs and glossaries sent to addresses literate in these non-English languages to be translated.

Follow this link to review an updated list of counties, published by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, requiring translated SBCs and glossaries when 10 percent of the population of a county meets the criteria listed above.
