WHAT IS A “WRAP PLAN” IN COMPARISON TO A SUMMARY PLAN DESCRIPTION (SPD)?

A Wrap Plan primarily refers to a document used for fully insured Summary Plan Description’s that “wrap” around an insurers Certificate of Coverage or plan document packet. A Wrap SPD without an affixed description of coverage is not a complete Summary Plan Description.

Self-funded plans do not have a Certificate of Coverage to wrap around, so creating a SPD for self- funded plans is a little more involved since it must include a complete description of the benefits provided.
