What do QHPs certified by Georgia Access meet according to ACA requirements?

Qualified Health Plans (QHPs) certified by Georgia Access align with the standards set by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) specifically in relation to health plans. These plans are designed to provide a comprehensive range of services, ensuring that they cover essential health benefits as mandated by the ACA. Being certified means that these plans adhere to federal regulations and guidelines that promote consumer protections, including coverage for preventive services, limits on out-of-pocket expenses, and guaranteed issue regardless of health status.

Meeting ACA requirements ensures that individuals seeking coverage have access to health insurance options that meet both their healthcare needs and regulatory standards, thereby reinforcing the overarching goals of the ACA in improving the accessibility and quality of healthcare.
