Compliance obligations in this area are a moving target. While the existence of laws such as COBRA, ERISA, HIPAA, and FMLA are nothing new, regulations continue to be released which serve to further expand and redefine your compliance obligations. These new regulations require that employers continue to modify existing procedures in order to stay in compliance.

 

In addition to the challenge of staying compliant with ever-changing existing laws, new laws continue to be passed. Click here for our printable overview of legislative developments that took place in 2009.

 

In light of the attention health care reform continues to receive at the federal level, we expect compliance obligations in this area to continue to change.
