Essential Health Benefits in Non-Grandfathered Plans-I

A non-grandfathered plan is a plan  that has come into force after March 23, 2010. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) came into being on March 23, 2010. A plan that existed before the ACA, but lost its grandfathered status at renewal is also a non-grandfathered plan. 

The Affordable Care Act requires non-grandfathered health plans in the individual and small group markets to cover essential health benefits (EHB) from January 1,2014. The essential health benefits (EHB) include items and services in the following ten benefit categories:
1. Ambulatory patient services (Outpatient care);
2. Emergency Services (Trips to the emergency room).
3. Hospitalization (Treatment in the hospital for inpatient care);
4. Maternity and newborn care;
5. Mental health and substance use disorder services including behavioral health treatment;
6.  Prescription drugs;
7.  Rehabilitative and habilitative services and devices;
8.  Laboratory services;
9.  Preventive and wellness services and chronic disease management;
10. Pediatric services, including oral and vision care.

While all qualified plans must offer these ten essential benefits, the scope and quantity of services offered under each category may vary.
