Sweeping healthcare legislation has passed, and like it or not, we’re all in for substantial changes. Much of the debate has been on the Bill’s cost to tax payers.

Proposed Agenda (click here to view more)
SEGMENT 1:


Michael Thompson, Principal, Global Human Resources Solutions Group,
PricewaterhouseCoopers

According to PwC's recent Health Reform Touchstone Supplement,
  • 94% of employers expect to have to make changes to their benefits to comply with PPACA while 74% expect to make additional changes to offset the costs of complying.
  • 79% expect to re-evaluate their benefits strategy with the most common focus being to increase efforts related to health and wellness and with a substantial minority focusing on significant changes to company  subsidies for employees or dependents, or  considering coverage of employees through the state exchanges.

Short term implications for employers
  • Reassess impact of current consumerism and health management strategies
  • Evaluate and react to health reform changes needed for 2011 compliance and value of grandfathered status. Consider value of offsets.
  • Review “Free Rider Penalties” for potential tax liabilities and impact on labor strategy, benefits eligibility and coverage levels.

Longer term implications
  • Re-evaluate “total rewards” and “health and wellness” strategies
  • Assess potential for health exchanges and federal subsidies to replace all or some of employer provided subsidized health benefits.
  • Reconsider retiree health programs including potential early retiree subsidies, expanded Rx coverage and movement toward Part D Employer Group Waiver Plans.
  • Re-examine the longer term risks and burdens of compliance in a post-reform environment.Consider potential outsourced solutions.
