Gain a better understanding why group health plans are set up in certain ways and how to stay compliant with legal requirements.
When the cost of health care is paid or reimbursed by an employer, a group health plan probably exists and the employer will normally be subject to a long list of legal requirements. This program will help you to understand the types of arrangements that can constitute a group health plan and will explain and walk through the many different legal requirements that can apply to a group health plan. It will help you to understand why your group health plans are set up in the way they are and to know the questions you may need to ask to determine if your plans are in compliance with these legal requirements.
