204 - Shaping US Healthcare: Key Legal and Regulatory Updates
Our speakers cover recent legislative and regulatory changes affecting the US healthcare system from the perspective of employers, insurers and individuals. Topics include the recent Budget Reconciliation law (the OBBBA) and CMS actions flowing out of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. Speakers address how these changes affect employers sponsoring group healthcare plans for their active and retiree populations, including a perspective on the unique needs of public sector employers. Topics include the pending impact of the OBBBA on the ACA individual marketplace and how evolving CMS rules will affect Part D and Medicare Advantage plans (both group and individual). At the close, panelists provide their thoughts on how the Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement, or ICHRA, option can open new doors for employers to consider a DB-to-DC shift for their active employee healthcare benefits.
