Employee benefit plans are complex and costly. Evaluation and implementation of healthcare and wellness strategies can be a challenge. To stay competitive in the market place, a business must choose a benefit program that works for both its company and its employees.

On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) setting into place sweeping changes as to the way Americans receive healthcare insurance and benefits. A drafted time line of implementation from 2010 thru 2018 has everyone from business owners and human resources managers to employees and retirees asking questions on:

Play or Pay – Mandated Benefits – Reporting Requirements – Retiree Coverage
Small Employer Tax Credits – Restrictions on Cafeteria Plans – Free Choice Vouchers
Automatic Enrollment Wellness Incentives – “Cadillac” Plans and so on.
