A health insurance plan's Benefits Summary can go by many names! You might see it referred to as a Summary of Benefits or SOB, Covered Benefits, or Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC). All of these refer to the plan's list of covered benefits in several different categories, including drug coverage, networks, and what might be excluded from coverage.
