2013-11-25T23:39:42-05:00

The Affordable Care Act, also known as the health care reform law, requires you to maintain basic health care coverage—called minimum essential coverage. Beginning in 2014, if you don't have minimum essential coverage, you'll have to pay a fee for each month you aren’t covered.

Plans that are Minimum Essential Coverage

If you’re using any of the following health plans, you have the minimum essental coverage required by the health care reform law. Unless you’re considering other health coverage, you don’t need to take any action at this time.
