Is your business ready for the nation's new health care rules?

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act includes many complex provisions, which will ultimately affect every citizen, employer and business. There are new mandates, tax changes and penalties. Your benefit plans may need to be reviewed and changed as parts of the Act are implemented. Some changes have already taken effect and more will take effect as early as next year.

To help employers understand the complexities involved in the new health care system, we will present a series of seminars in five locations across the state.  

You will Learn…

• designing a health care benefit plan that is in compliance with the law
• what the rules of engagement could be as they relate to penalties, tax credits, premium relief and more
• key elements of the new federal law and how these elements will change how you purchase coverage
• practical tools you can use to reduce or contain the cost of employee health care and improve health care outcomes among your workforce

Who Should Attend…

• Benefit Specialists
• Business Owners
• CFOs
• Directors
• Human Resource Managers & Directors
