Signed into law nearly three years ago, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (CAA) introduced new regulations intended to protect consumers from surprise billing and to increase transparency in the healthcare space. These regulations came with additional responsibilities to ensure plan sponsors act in the best interest of their employees. “It’s only taken a couple of years for the class action lawsuits to start to happen,” says Kirk Benson, vice president of health & benefits operations at PCF Insurance Services. “It’ll happen with the bigger companies first, and then it will trickle down to the smaller companies—so the biggest job for us [as benefits consultants] is making sure that our clients understand their fiduciary responsibility.” For Benson, situations like this are where an employee benefits broker can truly provide added value to their clients. #insurance #industry #benefits #risk https://lnkd.in/gkjJm2-M
