Health Care Reform

Federal Health Care Reform (HCR) was enacted under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in March 2010. To help you understand these new regulations and how they apply to your self-funded benefits plan, Health Plans has developed Compliance Bulletins and other informational notices.

We will update these pages as additional guidance and implementing regulations are issued. Be sure to check back periodically to stay informed of the most current updates.
