2014 will be a year to remember for self-funded health plans. On top of current responsibilities, add complying with the Affordable Care Act (ACA or “Obamacare”).  2014 is the one-year ACA “extension.” By the end of 2014, group health plans must be compliant with the full range of ACA requirements and be ready to stay compliant until at least 2017 and probably beyond. 

This webinar is the first in a series of monthly webinars on ACA compliance that Health Decisions is offering in 2014. We present an approach to ACA compliance that uses and complements current plan management responsibilities. Each month will cover an ACA compliance topic relevant to that time of year.                                                                   

This webinar provides an overview of 2014 and the topics we will cover each month. It offers an ACA Plan for 2014 that attendees can adopt or adapt.

ACA compliance has its challenges:

• How to pass compliance tests and avoid penalties?
• How to combine employment facts with plan enrollment data for new IRS reporting?
• How to defuse the ticking time bomb of cost sharing changes? 

Having an ACA Plan makes these challenges manageable.

ACA compliance also creates opportunities. Having an ACA Plan makes it possible to comply while: minimizing liabilities, maximizing savings, enhancing plan control, and improving employee relations.
