In this compliance webinar, Jenny Bedeaux from Assurex Global hosts a midyear regulatory update featuring experts from Loomlight. The session begins with a market poll regarding GLP-1 drug coverage strategies among employers. The core presentation covers four major regulatory topics: a proposed rule regarding fertility benefits as 'accepted benefits' which could exempt them from certain ACA and HIPAA obligations; the legal complexities and rising litigation surrounding tobacco surcharge wellness plans; New Jersey's new annual fee for employers with high numbers of Medicaid-enrolled employees; and recent legal developments regarding PBM (Pharmacy Benefit Manager) regulation, specifically focusing on ERISA preemption cases in Arkansas and Tennessee. The webinar concludes with a Q&A session addressing fiduciary responsibilities and pharmacy transparency.
