Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Essential Health Benefits (EHB) include a variety of categories such as hospitalization, laboratory services, and preventive care services. However, adult dental services are not included as one of the ACA's required essential benefits, though they may be offered as part of a separate plan or rider. This distinction is important as it affects coverage requirements and benefits for different age groups.
