No More Surprises! How Provisions of the No Surprises Act Will Impact Employer-Sponsored Health Plans In 2022

 

 

Jack Towarnicky, an ERISA/Employee Benefits compliance and planning attorney, having over forty years of experience in human resources and plan sponsor leadership roles joins ehealth Radio and the Healthcare and Legal Channels.

Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Jack Towarnicky discuss the following:

1. What’s your best advice for workers when it comes to “Surprise” medical bills?
2. As an employee benefits expert, what advice can you offer employees that is most beneficial regarding their employer-sponsored health plan?
3. I thought you had to enroll in a health plan with a high deductible to be eligible to contribute to a Health Savings Account. Is this true?
4. Let’s say my employer offers two different PPO options, one with a $600 deductible and the other is HSA-capable with a $1,400 deductible. Why would I sign up for the higher deductible option?
5. Given that the employer spend is usually the same for all coverage options, why would they offer HSA-capable coverage?
