Published Updated 5 Min Read

Benefit advisers working with employers offering medical plans — take note. Two important final regulations issued jointly by the Internal Revenue Service, Department of Labor and Department of Health and Human Services apply to plan years beginning on or after July 1, 2014. For plans and policies that operate on a calendar year, there is still time (until Jan. 1, 2015) to comply; however, plans and policies with a July 1 plan or policy year must comply now.
