Outline • Delay—what does it mean? • Trends • Exchanges • Responsibility of Individuals • Penalties (Individuals; Employers) 1 10/29/2013 Pay or Play—Delayed until 2014 • Surprise! • Asst. Sec. for Tax Policy at the U.S. Treasury Department Mark Mazur stated, “We have heard concerns about the complexity of the requirements and the need for more time to implement them effectively. We recognize that the vast majority of businesses that will need to do this reporting already provide health insurance to their workers, and we want to make sure it is easy for others to do so. We have listened to your feedback. And we are taking action.” Pay or Play—Delayed until 2014 • “We recognize that this transition relief will make it impractical to determine which employers owe shared responsibility payments (under section 4980H) for 2014. Accordingly, we are extending this transition relief to the employer shared responsibility payments. These payments will not apply for 2014. Any employer shared responsibility payments will not apply until 2015.” Pay or Play—Delayed until 2014 • Many ACA provisions were not delayed. – A ban on annual dollar limits on essential benefits – A 90-day limit on eligibility waiting periods – New out-of-pocket limits maximum – Elimination of preexisting conditions exclusions for adults – Coverage of clinical trial participant costs 2 10/29/2013 Pay or Play—Delayed until 2014 • Many ACA provisions were not delayed. – Still have recommended preventative care, including contraceptive services for women with no cost-sharing – Employers still required to provide written notices about government-run exchanges to each employee and all new hires by 10/1/13 Marketplace Notice • Who? Any company that employs one or more employees and is engaged in interstate commerce with annual business of not less than $500,000 • To whom? Each part- or full-time employee, regardless of enrollment or eligibility to participate status, Marketplace Notice • What: – Information regarding the existence of the marketplace, a description of the services provided by the marketplace and how the employee may contact the marketplace to request assistance – Information that the employee may be eligible for a premium tax credit if the employee purchases qualified health benefits through the marketplace: An employee will be eligible for a premium tax credit if either coverage under the employer's plan does not satisfy the "minimum value" standard set by the ACA, or the cost of employee- only coverage under the employer's plan exceeds 9.5 percent of the employee's household income. 3 10/29/2013 Marketplace Notice • What: – A statement that if the employee purchases qualified health benefits through the marketplace, the employee may lose any employer contribution to any health benefits plan offered by the employer, as well as the ability to exclude employer and employee contributions from his or her income; in other words, while employer coverage may be provided on a pretax basis, coverage purchased through the marketplace is paid for on an after-tax basis. Pay or Play—Delayed until 2014 • Important things to consider: – Still need to meet the minimum value requirement for 2014 plan year because that information is required for your summary of benefits and coverage provided in connection with coverage beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2014. Trends • What is going on? – Confusion – Are we shifting to a part-time employment society? – Family coverage? 4 10/29/2013 Trends--Resources • Lawyer Caveat: We did not create the calculators or other resources listed in the following page and thus, do not guarantee their accuracy or validity. Use them at your own risk and understand that health care reform changes daily. Likewise, it is unwise to solely rely upon a single resource for all healthcare reform compliance.
