Indianapolis, Indiana (PRWEB) December 04, 2013 -- While there have been some delays to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), employers still need to plan now to ensure compliance in 2015, while other requirements remain in effect for 2014. Under PPACA, employers have varying degrees of responsibility based on number of employees, for providing health coverage that is both affordable and offers a minimum standard of coverage.

United Benefit Advisors is hosting a webinar for HR professionals and employers titled, “Health Care Reform: Options, Obligations and Opportunities” on Thursday, Dec. 12, 2013 - 2 p.m. ET.
