Participant Notices Required to Administer Employer Health Plans Overwhelms Employers
UBA Employer Webinar Series, Featuring Julia M. Vander Weele and Kenneth A. Mason.
Indianapolis, IN (Vocus) October 7, 2010
UBA Employer Webinar Series, Featuring Julia M. Vander Weele and Kenneth A. Mason.
Learn from the employee group benefit experts, Oct. 12 at 2 p. m.ET about the gamut of notices required to administer an employer health plan in this era of health care reform.
Even before the passage of comprehensive health care reform, the number of participant notices required to administer an employer group health plan had become overwhelming. Many of these notices, such as those required under COBRA or HIPAA, are event-driven. But in recent years, the number of annually required notices has also grown. Starting with the Women's Health and Cancer Rights Act, these annual notices have grown to include those required under Medicare Part D and the Children's Health Insurance Program.
Now comes health care reform, and the notices have only multiplied. Some of these new notices are one-time requirements (in some cases, with fairly tight deadlines), while others must be provided annually. Fortunately, the government has issued model notices that can be used to satisfy most of these new notice obligations.
