November Compliance Webinar: Annual Limits for HSAs, Health FSAs, & DCAPs

Thursday, November 14, 2024

The IRS provides several options for tax-favored reimbursement of different expenses, but the rules vary significantly between benefit options. Some accounts are subject to contribution limits, while others are subject to reimbursement limits. And then to complicate things further, some limits apply on a calendar year basis, while others are tied to the employer’s plan year. This webinar will clarify the 2025 annual limits, and how they apply to each type of benefit, including when there is a change in plan year or short plan year, or when employees join mid-year.

NAVIGATING THE FINAL RULE: UNDERSTANDING NQTL REQUIREMENTS AND MENTAL HEALTH PARITY

Wednesday, November 20, 2024

This past September, the Departments of Labor (DOL), Treasury, and Health and Human Services released the final rule for the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA). As these agencies increase compliance audits, self-insured plan sponsors, along with their third-party service providers, face challenges in developing their plans’ NQTL analyses.

The new regulations require self-funded plans to collect specific data and conduct a thorough evaluation to assess the impact of NQTLs on mental health benefits compared to medical benefits under the plan.

Join this reFRAME webinar for a refresher on the Mental Health Parity Comparative Analysis and NTQL Requirements as well as what organizations should expect from the recently released final regulations. Speakers will also provide potential resources that may be able to assist your organization in complying with the upcoming requirements.
