The California Health Benefit Exchange (CHBE) Board has reviewed the attached report, prepared by Milliman, which analyzes and compares health services covered by the 10 Essential Health Benefits (EHB) benchmark plans for the state. The analysis includes comprehensive tables that summarize the coverage status of potential benchmark plans, as well as differences between the plans. CHBE submitted comments jointly with the Department of Health Care Services, Department of Managed Health Care, Department of Insurance and Managed Risk Medical Insurance Board on the federal Essential Health Benefits Bulletin. The attached letter was developed with input from CHBE Board meetings and comments received from CHA and other stakeholders. CHA also submitted the attached comment letter on EHB earlier this week.
