As of September 23, consumers will begin to receive a new summary of benefits and coverage form that describes what's covered by their insurance policy. Sabrina Corlette welcomes these new forms and discusses how they were developed as well as their potential to help tame the “wild west” of shopping for health insurance coverage.
Thanks to the support of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, CHIRblog will feature profiles of everyday people across the country who will – or have already – benefited from new consumer protections under the Affordable Care Act. Sabrina Corlette tells us about Joshua and his family's struggle to obtain affordable, quality insurance that will cover the care he needs for his heart syndrome in the first personal story in our new series, “Real Stories, Real Reforms.”
Welcome to CHIR's new blog – we’re excited to introduce ourselves and launch a new forum to share our insights on health insurance coverage and insurance markets, with a particular focus on how people are affected by insurance reform!
