Group Health Plans and a “Return to Normal” – The End of the Public Health Emergency

The Biden Administration has announced that the National Emergency and the Public Health Emergency related to COVID-19 will end effective May 11, 2023. Keenan’s Amy Donovan Esq., Vice President of Legislative and Regulatory Affairs, explains how this “return to normal” will impact group health plans.

This webinar discusses:

• The end of the “outbreak period” and its impact on:
  • COBRA
  • Mid-year election changes
  • Claims and appeals deadlines
• The impact on federal requirements to cover COVID-19 diagnostic testing and vaccines, without cost-sharing
• Changes for employers that offer stand-alone telehealth benefits
• How mental health parity enforcement will be impacted by the end of the emergency periods

There can be confusion regarding compliance whenever federal regulations related to group health plans occur. Keenan proactively tracks legislative and regulatory issues that may impact our clients’ programs.
