“Summary of Benefits & Coverage” (SBC)

What is an “SBC?” Under the Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”), all insurance companies and group health plans, like UNITE HERE HEALTH, are asked to provide an easy-to-understand summary of benefits and coverage, or “SBC.” Sometimes, it’s a good overview with lots of charts.

These documents are summaries of your benefits, but some information may have changed.

After each SPD is published, certain changes may have been made to your benefits. These changes are reflected in a Summary of Material Modifications (SMM) that are mailed to each member. View these SMMs on our library page. (Click your plan button under "California Region".)

Prior Authorization

Certain types of care require “prior authorization” or approval. This helps us to keep costs low and forces doctors and nurses to talk better to each other about the care you receive.
