Origin of the EHB Mandate
The Affordable Care Act requires non-grandfathered health plans in the individual and small group markets to cover a set of 10 categories of services - collectively defined as Essential Health Benefits (EHB). Included among these are doctors' services, inpatient and outpatient hospital care, emergency services, rehabilitative and habilitative services and devices, maternity and newborn care and more.
