The Affordable Care Act and Your Company: Event Series in Massachusetts

Join The Massachusetts Health Connector and Associated Industries of Massachusetts (AIM) for a unique opportunity to hear from and speak with executives from key regulatory agencies on federal health care reform and its implementation in the commonwealth. In addition, AIM’s in-house experts will discuss day-to-day management, timelines, compliance and administrative implications for the employer community.

Effective January 1, 2014, the Federal Affordable Care Act (ACA) will change the manner in which employers determine their health plan strategy. Premium tax credits, cost sharing subsidies, Medicaid expansion, health insurance taxes, rating factor changes, employer shared responsibility assessments and the federal individual mandate will redefine “affordable insurance”. The Massachusetts Health Connector will play a key role in the delivery of health insurance products, individual subsidies and employer assessments.
