Ensuring Compliance
Employee Benefits Attorney – In recognition of the substantial impact that legislative changes continue to have on plan sponsors, our benefit consultants have access to an employee benefits attorney that specializes in COBRA, Section 125, HIPAA, consumer driven healthcare, and general business law that can provide answers to legal questions before having to pay for a legal opinion.
Continuous Legislative Updates – As changes in the benefit world happen, you need to know as soon as possible what those changes are before they adversely affect your employee population or result in a fine. We provide a continuous series of updates as well as “kits” that enable us to work with our clients to ensure that all internal operations are legislatively compliant.
Compliance Audit – In the current environment of constant legislative changes, ensuring that all your policies and procedures are up to date not only protects your from possible fines imposed by the Department of Labor following a failed audit, it also protects your organization from the possibility of legal action by an employee because internal procedures were not up to date. We provide you with a full review of policies and procedures along with an analysis of the items to adjust and the assistance you need to make the adjustments.
Plan Document Review – In the self-funded environment, your greatest threat can be the potential of having a procedure listed as a covered service in your plan document yet not covered in your contract with your administrator or stop-loss carrier. Unbeknownst to your company, the large claims that fall into this category could be your full responsibility. We provide full review of these documents to ensure there are no gaps in your coverage.
