    Quote from Chief Administrative Officer

    Melissa and her team are excellent to work with. Not only do they ensure that we get the best value for our Firm, but they learn about our culture and suggest the best options for our employees. They have been instrumental in designing, monitoring, and participating in our Wellness Program. They go above and beyond to assist us with the day-to-day questions and concerns facing our employees whether it relates to claims or what is covered by our benefits. I know when I have a question, they are a phone call or e-mail away. It definitely makes our jobs in HR and Management much easier!

    Don’t Forget About Your Gag Clause Attestations

    When the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (CAA) was enacted on December 27, 2020, it included a provision that prohibits group health plans and health insurance carriers from entering into certain agreements that, either directly or indirectly, restrict the release of certain information related to provider networks and de-identified encounter data, among other things. Such restrictions are commonly referred to as “gag clauses.” The CAA also requires plans and carriers to attest annually that their agreements do not include such impermissible gag clauses.
