Health care reform continues to be a major focus for Capitol Hill. Employers of all sizes and types may be affected by the reform laws that Washington may pass. While it is currently unclear whether and to what extent reforms will be passed, by September we will either know what the new laws will look like or have a clearer understanding of what is likely to be a part of any reform legislation passed.

This seminar will discuss Health Care Reform and explain and review what you need to know and do to keep your group health plans compliant in 2010. Topics include:

  • Health Care Reform – A review of what's passed and what's proposed, including "pay or play," individual mandates, insurance reform and benefits mandates
  • ARRA-COBRA Subsidy – What's new and where we are headed
  • Hi-Tech HIPAA – Compliance tips, traps and changes
  • Michele's Law
  • Mental Health Parity
  • Health Risk Assessments – Understanding the EEOC's position
