When your BCBSM or BCN health plan becomes sponsored by SBAM, you receive a free SPD template. You’ll also gain access to exclusive consolidated billing and customer service with our Harmony team. The available plan options, premium amounts and agent of record remains the same.
Summary Plan Descriptions
Did you know?
Stay Compliant with the DOL
An SPD describes the rights and responsibilities of both the employer and employee under the group benefit plan by providing detailed information about the health plan itself.
SBAM members simply enter your basic plan information into the template of required legal pages and the SPD document is ready for distribution to your insured employees. Be sure to also provide your insured employees the Summary of Benefits & Coverage and any other benefit booklets given to you by the carrier.
Contact Kellie.Neirynck@sbam.org to request an SPD template now.
Use this template for communicating SMM plan changes to employees that don’t require a new SPD.
