Join the Gallagher Compliance Counsel for an essential webinar exploring pending litigation and potential regulatory and legislative actions that could impact employer-sponsored health benefits. Topics will include updates on the 2025 Executive Orders that may have an impact on health benefits, how upcoming Supreme Court decisions may alter the current ACA rules and state PBM laws, and the potential actions to expand HSAs and IVF benefits while potentially limiting the tax-favored status of employer-provided health plans. The Gallagher Compliance Counsel will prepare plan sponsors by educating them on current mandates and opportunities, and how those might be altered in the future.
What You’ll Learn:
- The latest developments in reproductive and pharmacy benefits and their impact on employer plans
- Proposed expansions of HSAs and what they could mean for your workforce
- How pending Supreme Court decisions may affect compliance
- Current conversations around the taxability of employer-provided health coverage
