Minimum Essential Coverage

What Is Minimum Essential Coverage?

Minimum essential coverage is a type of health insurance policy an individual needed to meet the shared responsibility provision under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). Individuals who lacked minimum essential coverage previously were hit with a financial penalty. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passed in 2017 removed that penalty and buying health insurance is no longer mandatory at the federal level.

All TRU-MEC Plans meet ACA requirements for qualifying healthcare coverage, or minimum essential coverage (MEC). Each plan also includes prescription benefits and complimentary telemedicine
