Health Care Reform: Employer Requirements at a Glance
An article by SHRM Online Staff
Landmark legislation making major changes to health care insurance practices in the United States was enacted in March 2010. The law affects employers and HR professionals in a variety of ways, many of which are discussed briefly below. An interactive timeline that displays the effective dates of these provisions and includes links to detailed information will appear on the SHRM Health Care Reform Resources Page at www.shrm.org/healthcare. Mandated Benefits: Beginning six months after the law's enactment, all existing health insurance plans must: - Prohibit lifetime limits.
- Prohibit rescissions.
- Restrict annual limits.
- Include limitations on excessive waiting periods.
- Include a requirement to provide coverage for non-dependent children up to age 26; before 2014, this requirement is limited to non-dependent children who do not have an employer offer of coverage.
