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.

HIPAA Privacy Changes: What It Means for Reproductive Health
Wednesday, December 4, 2024
Deemed necessary by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization and its aftermath of state-level abortion laws, HHS issued a HIPAA Privacy Rule to Support Reproductive Health Care Privacy (the “2024 Privacy Rule”). The 2024 Privacy Rule amends the HIPAA privacy rule to afford greater protection to protected health information (PHI) that is related to reproductive health care, with the goal of maintaining the necessary trust between patient and healthcare provider. Compliance with the 2024 Privacy Rule is required by December 22, 2024.
Join this reFRAME webinar as we give a primer on HIPAA compliance for plan sponsors, discuss the recent regulatory changes and what must be done to comply, and demo an easy and affordable HIPAA Compliance solution.
This webinar will be facilitated by The MJ Companies’ Vice President, Legal + Compliance, Bryan Gross and Benefit Comply’s Compliance Consultant, Delaney George. This reFRAME webinar is free for all MJ clients, partners, and friends. Register today!
