LOCATION:              

The Tampa Club, 101 East Kennedy Boulevard, Suite 4200, Tampa, FL 33602    

TOPIC:                      

As 2014 approaches and health care reform evolves, many employers will turn to web-based enrollment solutions to satisfy upcoming compliance obligations. Very few, however, will stop to consider the liability that comes with managing enrollment in carrier contract agreements, based on coverage being offered.                                 

Presenters will address:

• The rapid expansion of the web-based enrollment market and it’s history.
• The risks and liability that come with vendor selection.
• Important questions HR managers and companies should ask in evaluating system capabilities and the potential risk associated with systems in general.
• Important regulatory requirements that every HR executive should know.
• Processes and technologies that can be put into place to help HR and organizations better manage healthcare reform mandates.
• How technology can help to ensure compliance with executed carrier contract verbiage.
• Common carrier rules and eligibility requirements that, if not accounted for, can leave corporations exposed.
• How to define “payroll integration”.
