Obama administration clarifies ACA 2016 cost-sharing limits

Published Updated 3 Min Read

Questions from industry stakeholders have prompted the Obama administration to clarify annual limits on cost sharing under the ACA and how they apply to individuals, families, and self-funded and large group health plans.

Under the ACA non-grandfathered group health plans are required to ensure that any annual cost sharing imposed under the plan does not exceed certain limitations and an enrollee’s out-of-pocket costs for essential health benefits are limited.
