The Summary Plan Description (SPD) is a written document that the plan administrator must provide automatically and free of charge to all participants of an ERISA-covered health benefit plan. The SPD explains what coverage the plan offers, how the plan operates, and the rights and responsibilities of participants and beneficiaries. The SPD, in addition to the written plan document, must be provided to all participants. Carrier certificates do not alone satisfy the requirements of the SPD.
The Wrap SPD document is used to wrap the required ERISA language around a single policy or plan. For example, the Wrap is used to combine the ERISA language with a medical certificate of coverage (or dental, vision, life, disability). Insurance carriers often include state-mandated provisions regarding coverage but do not always include the required federal ERISA requirements.
