The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has many implications for the business community, especially those companies subject to the employer mandate or “pay or play” rules.   New federal guidelines will determine what your health plan must cover, the minimum value it must provide employees, the eligibility parameters that determine who in your company can participate in your health plan, and how much of the plan premium you as an employer must pay.

The employer mandate has been delayed to 2015, but don’t wait to begin preparations.  Ensuring you can minimize your risk and expense requires action now.

There are many questions employers must answer:

• How do you count your employees to determine if you are a large employer under the Act?
• How can you ensure your health plan meets the required standards for coverage and affordability?
• How can you avoid paying penalties?

Industry experts, Joel Allumbaugh and Steve Gerlach bring you an important ACA employer seminar.  Joel and Steve will provide clarity on the employer mandate and go beyond to highlight key benefit strategies you can use to minimize your risk of noncompliance.
