PAYROLL – Employee withholding on highly-paid
employees is impacted. CBIZ will review the new income
threshold on employee Medicare withholding with you.
FEES – Several new fees are coming into play. CBIZ can
help you minimize the cost impacts of:
n Patient Centered Outcomes Research (PCORI) Fee
will be due via IRS form 720 at a rate of $1 per
covered life for 2012, $2 per covered life for 2013
n Transitional Reinsurance Fee (estimated at $63
per covered life), beginning in 2014: Based on your
reported number of covered lives, you will receive an
invoice for this fee from HHS.
n Federal Marketplace User Fee (applies only in states
using Federal Marketplace): a monthly user fee of
3.5% imposed on all qualified health plans issued in
states where there is no state-based exchange
being offered
SHARED RESPONSIBILITY FOR LARGE
EMPLOYERS – “Large employer”, as defined by the law,
is not as clear as it may seem. CBIZ will work with you to
determine your status and proceed accordingly.
BENEFIT PLAN REVIEW – Changes to your plan will
likely be needed to avoid assessable payments and keep
costs down. CBIZ will help you review your plan to:
n Remove mention of pre-existing conditions, annual and
lifetime limits
n Review waiting periods
n Ensure new hires are offered initial enrollment
n Manage compliance for grandfathered plans
n Amend FSA plan documents to conform to new rules
and limits
n Ensure ERISA plan filing requirements are met
EMPLOYEE COMMUNICATIONS – There are many
new employee communication requirements. CBIZ will
work with you to plan ahead for these requirements,
including:
n Renewal information: 30 days advance notice to
benefit changes at renewal/60 days in advance for
mid-year changes
n Notification of the Public Marketplace (Exchanges) by
October 1, 2013, then annually and for all new hires
n Ensure that Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC)
is provided during open enrollment or at least 30 days
before renewal of coverage and to all eligible new hires
