Will Cost Sharing Reductions to Insurers Continue?
The “BAILOUTS” that President Trump is referring to is the approximately $7 billion in cost-sharing reduction subsidies the federal government pays annually to reimburse insurers who are required under the ACA to reduce deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums for low-income Americans. Because of a pending lawsuit, the payments, which are determined by the Department of Health and Human Services, are currently being doled out on a month-to month basis.

Update on ACA Repeal and Replace Strategy
It was no secret before President Trump signed the executive order that he wanted the Affordable Care Act (ACA) repealed, and now he has made his intentions clear.

Although the executive order doesn’t grant the administration any powers that it didn’t already have, it does signal to the public that change is coming.

Does your Wellness Program Comply with the January 1st EEOC Final Wellness Rules?
On January 1, 2017, new wellness program rules from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) go into effect. These rules differ a bit from those under HIPAA and the ACA, so we recommend every employer review and revise their wellness program to ensure compliance, including new rules around incentives, new limitations on the types of info gathered in Health Risk Assessments on family members, and newly required notices you must provide to employees.
