Essential Health Benefits

Critical benefits that all Catch plans cover
tl;drAll plans you'll find through Catch must cover these ten critical types of healthcare.

All plans you buy through Catch must cover 10 health benefit categories deemed essential by the Affordable Care Act.

Most plans may cover more than these benefits, and coverage of specific services may vary from one state to another. But every plan must cover the following list of essential health benefits at a minimum:

  1. Outpatient care that doesn’t require being admitted to the hospital (also known as ambulatory patient services)
  2. Hospitalization (like surgery and overnight stays)
  3. Pregnancy, maternity, and newborn care (both before and after birth)
  4. Mental health and substance use disorder services, including behavioral health treatment (including counseling and psychotherapy)
  5. Prescription drugs
  6. Rehabilitative and habilitative services and devices (services and devices to help people with injuries, disabilities, or chronic conditions gain or recover mental and physical skills)
  7. Laboratory services
  8. Preventive and wellness services and chronic disease management
  9. Pediatric services, including oral and vision care (however, adult dental and vision coverage are not essential health benefits)
  10. Breastfeeding and birth control coverage

All health insurance plans on Catch cover the Essential Health Benefits. Catch makes it easy to compare all the options in your area to find the best coverage and the best price.
