COVID-19 Emergency Declarations Come to an End
The end of both declared Emergencies affects certain temporary COVID relief measures and coverage mandates that were put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic for employee benefit plans. Some coverage mandates were tied to the duration of the Public Health Emergency (PHE), while other forms of deadline relief were related to the National Emergency (NE). With the end of the Emergencies, employers will want to take the appropriate steps to ensure they are prepared for the expiration of any relief measures, mandates or tolled deadlines implemented during the PHE and NE.
PCORI Fee Deadline Just Around the Corne
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires health insurers and sponsors of self-funded group health plans (including health reimbursement arrangements, or HRAs) to pay a Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) fee. Originally, the law provided that the PCORI fee would not be assessed for plan years ending after September 30, 2019. However, legislation passed in December 2019 extended the PCORI fee for an additional 10 years, until 2029.
