Summary of Benefits 2023
For 2023 medical plans, the Summary of Benefits (SOBs) include coverage information in a simplified format, making it easier for members to read and understand their plan benefits. SOBs are included in renewals, open enrollment materials and member welcome kits as part of the Evidence of Coverage (EOC).
When providing a SOB to an applicant or Blue Shield member, you must also include a disclosure and a Notice of Language Assistance (PDF, 1.1 MB).
In addition to the SOBs, the Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC) Forms provide your clients with an easy-to-understand overview of what our plans for groups of 1 to 100 cover. Download SBC forms and other resources.
These SOBs are effective January 1, 2023, for small businesses of 1 to 100.
