This update addresses key “immediate” concerns for employers
and their group health plans as a result of changes mandated by the Health
Care Reform Law (i.e., the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of
2010 and Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010).
These generally take effect as of the first day of the plan year beginning
on or after September 23, 2010 (January 1, 2011 for calendar year plans).
