The Plan Documents contain the controlling terms and conditions for the SHBP. The Plan Documents include the Eligibility & Enrollment Provisions, Summary Plan Descriptions/Evidence of Coverage, SHBP Rules & Regulations, Board Resolutions that establish premiums, policies, and other documents used to determine what benefits are payable under the Plan and who is eligible for the Plan.

DCH is solely responsible for determining which documents are Plan Documents, and the vendors are required to administer the SHBP in accordance with the Plan Documents. For Employers that provide the SHBP through a contract with DCH, the contract is also a Plan Document.
