Healthcare Reform: Impact for Employers
Navigating the Sweeping Changes for Group Health Plans
Recording of a 90-minute CLE webinar/teleconference with Q&A
Conducted on Thursday, June 3, 2010
Recorded event now available
This CLE webinar will provide counsel to employers and group plans with an overview of the healthcare reform law's mandates. The panel will discuss actions employers and plans must take immediately and those to prepare for in the years ahead.
Description
The Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act, commonly called healthcare reform, will affect every individual and almost all businesses and their group health plans. Some provisions require immediate action by employers and group plans while others are effective in the next few years.
Practitioners who advise employers and group health plans must understand the new mandates, the coverage changes in effect now and in the future, and the financial, legal and tax impacts of this legislation for employers and plans.
Listen as our authoritative panel of employee benefit attorneys guides you through this monumental legislation, explains the impact of the bill for employers and group health plans, and discusses the actions that employers and plans must take in 2010 and the years ahead.
Outline
- Employer mandates
- Coverage requirements and plan changes
- Tax and financial implications
- What employer and group plans need to do now
Benefits
The panel will review these and other key questions:
- What penalties do employers face for not providing health coverage or for providing "unaffordable" coverage?
- What coverage mandates are included in the new bill — and when must these changes be made?
- How does the legislation protect "grandfathered" plans?
