He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - The ten Essential Health Benefits (EHBs) are mandatory for all new individual and small group health plans under the ACA. - EHBs do not automatically apply to large group plans, self-funded plans, or grandfathered plans. - While EHBs must be covered, cost-sharing still applies, with the major exception of certain preventive services which have no cost-sharing. - States define the specific services required within each of the ten EHB categories by selecting a state-specific "benchmark plan". - Exam questions focus on applying EHB rules, such as identifying if a denied service falls into a mandatory category or understanding the limits of the requirements.
