Health Care Reform for Employers:  Now What?

Ready or not, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will impact every U.S. employer and employee.  Health care reform calls for immediate action by all employers, regardless of their size or whether they offer group health insurance to their employees. This presentation is an opportunity for employers to sort through the influx of information on health care reform and get practical legal guidance regarding their responsibilities under the law. Topics that will be covered include employer reporting and disclosure requirements, employer shared responsibility penalties, the individual mandate, and Oregon’s state insurance exchange. The presentation will also cover the most recent changes to the law and give employers an implementation timeline and key dates for compliance.
