Building Benefits Excellence: ACA Mandatory Reporting Requirements
|
Date: Thursday, April 9, 2015
Time: 8:30 - 10:00 a.m.
Location: PHRA Offices
Investment: $19
As a requirement of the ACA, employers with 50 or more full-time and full-time equivalent employees must begin tracking offers of coverage to their full-time employees. Further, employers that sponsor self-insured health plans of any size must begin tracking the actual coverage of employees, spouses, and dependents. In both cases, this tracking will occur on an employee-by-employee basis, and the information will be tracked for each month of the calendar year. Because the reporting must be done on a calendar year basis, employers must begin capturing the needed information as of January 1, 2015. The amount of detail required is daunting, and employers need to prepare now to implement processes and begin capturing data.

A standard VBA plan will include a fully-paid vision exam, first quality lenses, and a wide selection of fashion frames - more than 29,000 are fully covered! Also, VBA has added a one-year scratch protection plan on every spectacle lens obtained through their network, and just recently, has also begun covering blended "no-line" bifocals - all at no additional cost to their clients or their enrolled members.
