Nfp Benefits Compliance Podcast

In this episode, Chase Cannon and Suzanne Spradley look at the recent rise in so-called “point solution programs.” These add-on programs enhance or expand on a group health plan offering and have benefits such as mental health, musculoskeletal, life coaching and fertility. Chase explains some of the compliance challenges that arise from offering the programs, including ERISA, COBRA, and ACA issues when the programs include components of medical care. Next, Chase and Suzanne discuss the challenges surrounding HSA eligibility and taxation, and the two close with general comments on these types of programs.
