Health Care Reform Requirements Impacting Multiemployer Plans

Thursday May 20^th, 2 p.m. - 3 p.m. CST

On Tuesday, March 30, the President signed the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, the reconciliation companion to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. This historic legislation affects nearly every American imposing specific benefit mandates on health plans, requiring employers to offer their workers high quality health insurance coverage (and imposing penalties if they do not) and requiring Americans to purchase health insurance.Nowhere is the impact of this law more complicated (and less clear) than it is with respect to multiemployer plans – everything from the application of grandfathering and effective dates of various mandates to the elimination of waiting periods. This webcast will focus specifically on the effect of health care reform on multiemployer plans. Topics will include:

• An up-to-the minute clear and complete review of the legislation’s main requirements as they relate to multiemployer plans
• A practical discussion of the types of issues that multiemployer plans will be grappling with in the short and long term.
