This Year’s New Laws and How They Affect You
Available immediately and for 60 days after purchase.
The recent onslaught of new benefits law changes—mental health parity rules, required coverage for college students, final regulations on coverage for newborns and mothers, and more—means that 2008 is packing a bigger-than-expected compliance bang. Let EBIA help you sort out what the developments really mean for health and welfare plans. Join our experts in this 90-minute web seminar for a survey of effective dates, what’s required and what’s permitted, who must comply, and how the changes impact plan design and administration for 2009 and beyond.
Originally presented on December 4, 2008.
