Title: ●Uniform Explanation of Benefits, Coverage Facts, and Standardized Definitions (CMS-9982-P) 
Abstract: The Affordable Care Act requires the Secretary to develop standards for use by group health plans and health insurance issuers in compiling and providing a summary of benefits and coverage explanation that accurately describes benefits and coverage. The Secretary must also set standards for the definitions of terms used in health insurance coverage, including specific terms set out in the statute. Plans and issuers must provide information according to these standards no later than 24 months after enactment. This proposed rule would implement the information disclosure provisions in section 2715 of PHSA , as added by the Affordable Care Act.
