ExpertQuote Launches Healthcare Reform Consulting Services

In the midst of constant reform updates and emerging requirements, ExpertQuote, a leader in corporate benefits, is now offering  customized health care reform consulting services to mid-sized and large employers. The requirements of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) are extremely complex and its legal implications extend  to ERISA and the Internal Revenue Service Codes.  The Department of Labor (DOL), Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Internal Revenue Services (I.R.S.)  are releasing new information and mandates on a weekly basis.  Unless an employer has a dedicated compliance officer on staff,  this barrage of information has the propensity for exorbitant fines and penalties for misinformed or uninformed employers.

Raj Singh, COO of ExpertQuote said “The ExpertQuote Healthcare Reform Team has developed a comprehensive Strategic Planning Program ™. We will provide customized legislative and regulatory requirement checklists, benefit plan design review and assessment, tailored employee communications including wrap plans and SPDs as well as IRS filling guidance.”   Further, he stated,  “Particularly for 2016 reporting, large employers must adopt a proactive strategy with Health Care Reform Compliance in 2015. Otherwise, employers run the risk of waking up after New Year’s celebrations to realize they have only 160 hours to initiate reporting that requires months of planning”
