Personnel Concepts Introduces Benefit Plan Subscription Service to Keep Businesses Constantly Up to Date and in Compliance

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) June 9, 2010 -- ONTARIO, Calif.—Changes have been occurring frequently to health care plan administration and benefit notification requirements throughout the 18 months of the Obama Administration, and businesses are obligated to keep their workforces informed, Personnel Concepts advises employers as it launches a service to help remedy the situation.

Though the March 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) will ultimately change the health care landscape dramatically, more recent and noticeable changes already have employers scrambling to stay up to date.

These changes—resulting in new employer notification obligations—have affected HIPAA (the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), the Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act (CHIPRA), and COBRA (the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986 that created post-employment insurance options).

“Change is still in the air, and the COBRA subsidy especially is in flux as Congress gears up for the November elections,” said Robert Leland, director of research for Personnel Concepts. “With our Benefit Plan Compliance Poster Subscription service, employers can rest assured that they’ll receive and be able to disseminate the latest notifications for their workforces.”

The Benefit Plan Compliance Poster Subscription service ships with COBRA, PPACA, HIPAA and CHIPRA notification posters and includes a subscription service that will keep the posters up to date. A subscription to the Benefit Laws Quarterly newsletter comes in the package as well.
