Webinar On Healthcare Exchanges
Monday, April 15, 2013
What Employers Need To Know About The New Healthcare Exchange Offerings and The Rules That Apply - APRIL 25th, 2PM-3PM Register Now, click here.
Effective October 1, 2013 individuals and small employers will have the ability to enroll in the new healthcare exchanges for coverage to become effective January 1, 2014. These new online marketplaces will be set up in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, and will be required to offer certain types of comprehensive coverage to members. Small employers will need to know if they qualify to purchase group coverage on the exchange and what rules apply with regard to open enrollment, plan selection and administration. Large employers will also be interacting and sharing information with the Exchanges regarding employees who may elect coverage from an Exchange in order to understand if penalties could arise. All employers will be required to provide Exchange notices to employees later this year and to every new hire thereafter - no doubt your employees may come to you with lots of questions about these new marketplaces.
In this 1-hour webinar we will present a high-level overview of these new marketplaces and discuss:
- The different types of exchanges that may be established
- The benefits and plan designs that must be offered and the factors that the carriers may consider when establishing premiums
- Which "small employers" may participate and how their employees may shop for coverage on the SHOP Exchange
Who is eligible for premium and/or cost sharing assistance and what information employers may need to provide to the Exchange?

The DOL Offers a Q&A Update Regarding the ACA Exchange Notice Requirement
Monday, January 28, 2013
The Department of Labor has issued an Affordable Care Act update (Questions and Answers Part XI) indicating that the Exchange notice requirement that was to be effective March 1, 2013 will be delayed until later summer or early fall in order to ensure a smooth implementation process that provides employers with sufficient time to comply and employees with the appropriate information at a meaningful time. The Department is considering providing model language that could be used to satisfy this requirement.
