The countdown has begun to what some consider a soft launch of the public insurance exchanges established under the landmark health law known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), yet many employers remain unprepared. PPACA brings numerous responsibilities and options to employers, but navigating the sea of information can be extremely difficult. That’s why The Megro Benefits Company created its HCR Central, a free online resource with constantly updated information and analysis to aid employers in their employee benefits planning strategy.
“HCR Central” includes up-to-date information on a number of elements, including:
- PPACA Timeline
- The Play or Pay Penalty and Counting Employees Under PPACA
- PPACA Executive Summary
- What is My State Doing with the Exchanges?
- What is My State Doing with Medicaid?
- New Rules Affecting Fully Insured Plans
- New Rules Affecting Self-Funded Plans
- 2012 Employee Health Benefits Survey
- Updated May 2013- Highlights of the Summary of Benefits and Coverage Requirement
- Updated FAQs on Summary of Benefits and Coverage
- Corrected SBC Template
