The information presented above is a brief description of the important features of this insurance plan. It is not an insurance contract. Actual benefits are determined by the terms and conditions of your policy and certificate alone. The plan described here does not constitute comprehensive health insurance (often referred to as “major medical coverage”) and does not satisfy a person’s individual obligation to secure the requirement of minimum essential coverage under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
