Planning for 2015 – Open Enrollment and Other PPACA Issues
The Wilson Agency will present a 90-minute webinar on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and requirements that will take effect next year.
The 90-minute, intermediate-level webinar will be Tuesday, August 12, beginning at 2 p.m. Eastern time.
This next year will bring employer-shared responsibility (“play or pay”) requirements for larger employers, said a spokesman of the Wilson Agency. PPACA has also affected the notices employers need to give as part of the open enrollment process and it impacts COBRA. To help plan sponsors understand their options and obligations, this webinar will cover:
- A review of the 2014 plan design requirements, including the eligibility waiting period rules
- How group health plans and the Marketplace handle special enrollment and Section 125 change in status events
- Upcoming fees
- The health plan identifier requirement
- Notices that should be included in your open enrollment packet – and those that are no longer needed
- A refresher on Summary of Benefits and Coverage requirements, including the transition and distribution rules
- A review of the common law employee definition
- A reminder of how to count workers correctly – and why it matters
- Recent developments, and what is in the regulatory pipeline
