Lessons From CA: Essential Health Benefits
Executive Summary
Introduced by the Affordable Care Act, the Essential Health Benefits (EHBs) are a set of ten health care service categories that non-grandfathered health plans in the individual and small group markets must cover. States are in the process of making important decisions about the EHBs, therefore this is a key time to influence and shape the next phase of EHBs in your state. In this month’s Lessons from California, we highlight steps the state has taken to update the EHBs, and continued advocacy efforts.
