SUMMARY:Designing A Compliant Contribution Strategy (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Employers offering group health coverage must weigh the cost of providing affordable\, adequate coverage against the business’s budgetary priorities and constraints. As premium costs continue to rise year-after-year\, employers understandably look for cost-saving measures. There are several options to consider that help a plan sponsor manage the cost of their benefits program\, including the plan’s premium contribution strategy. When designing a contribution strategy to allocate the cost of coverage between the employer and employees\, don’t forget about compliance!

SUMMARY:Navigating HSA Complexities
DESCRIPTION:Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) have become increasingly popular with plan sponsors and their employees. Employees enjoy the ability to pay for eligible expenses using pre-tax savings and accrue a balance in an account that rolls over annually\, allowing them to save for medical expenses even into retirement years. Employers appreciate the lower premiums that typically come with HSA-compatible medical plans. However\, there are important rules related to eligibility\, contributions\, and reimbursements that must be followed to ensure that the employee and employer are compliant with HSA rules and regulations.

SUMMARY:Understanding the Ins and Outs of Mid-Year Election Changes
DESCRIPTION:A Section 125 plan allows employees to pay for certain benefits on a pre-tax basis. One of the basic rules governing these plans is that once an employee makes an election\, the election cannot be changed until the next plan year unless the employee experiences a permitted election change event. The rules governing mid-year election changes can be confusing to understand and challenging to administer. \n  \nJoin us on Thursday\, February 23rd at 10:00 a.m. EST to learn about the requirements for Section 125 election changes and HIPAA special enrollments\, and to understand what is allowed and when. We will discuss best practices for administering election change requests and provide insight on how to avoid commonly made errors.

SUMMARY:New Mental Health Parity Requirements for Group Health Plans
DESCRIPTION:Mental health parity rules have been around for over a decade\, but it appears that federal regulators are increasingly focused on compliance with the Mental Health Parity and Addition Equity Act (MHPEA). The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (CAA) modified and enhanced the mental health parity compliance rules\, which became effective February 10\, 2021. These changes affect most group health plans\, with the heaviest compliance burden felt by self-funded plans. Please join us to learn more about these requirements and how they impact employer-sponsored group health plans. The session is limited to 500 participants; if you cannot make it or if it fills up\, the session will be recorded and the slides and webinar recording will be emailed to all registrants.
