Overview
Join Partner Sarah Raii, Counsel Alden Bianchi, and Associate Scott Kenkel in an upcoming webinar from 1:00pm – 2:30 pm (EDT) on October 1 hosted by Strafford.
This CLE webinar will provide guidance on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office for Civil Rights’ (OCR) recently issued final nondiscrimination rules under Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The panel will describe the final rule’s requirements and how the rule expands the scope of covered entities, provides additional exemptions, and other key provisions under the final rule. The panel will also discuss the rule’s compliance timeline and offer best practices for compliance for health plans, fiduciaries, and third-party administrators.
Topics include:
- How does the final rule apply to group health plans, carriers, and third-party administrators?
- How does the final rule expand the scope of covered entities?
- What protections does the rule reinstate that were removed in 2020?
- What compliance and notice requirements are included in the final rule?
- When might we have some certainty about whether these rules apply?
