My practice is concentrated in the area of employee benefits. I work with employers and multiemployer plans on health and welfare benefit plan issues, including employee communications, compliance with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA), tax issues, and vendor contracting.Since the passage of the PPACA (health care reform), I have helped clients adapt and plan for the new legal environment. I have given many presentations for a variety of groups on topics including aspects of health care reform (e.g., new mandates, employer penalties, and exchanges), HITECH, COBRA, reporting and disclosure, and high deductible health plans/health savings accounts.Specialties: Group Health Plans, Health Care Reform, Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), Health Insurance Portablity and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH), COBRA.
