Indianapolis, Indiana (PRWEB) September 26, 2013 -- The countdown has begun to what some consider a soft launch of the public insurance exchanges established under the landmark health law known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), yet many employers remain unprepared. PPACA brings numerous responsibilities and options to employers, but navigating the sea of information can be extremely difficult. That’s why United Benefit Advisors (UBA) created its PPACA Resource Center, a free online resource with constantly updated information and analysis to aid employers in their employee benefits planning strategy.

UBA’s “PPACA Resource Center” includes up-to-date information on a number of elements, including:

  • Self-funded Plans and PPACA/Group Health Plans and PPACA
  • FAQs about the Health Marketplace
  • FAQs about the Exchange Marketplace Notice
  • PPACA and the Individual Shared Responsibility Requirement
  • Preparing for PPACA Readiness Checklist
  • What is My State Doing with the Exchanges & Medicaid?
  • Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC) FAQs
  • IRS Releases Proposed PPACA Reporting Rules
  • FAQs about Grandfathered Plans
  • HSA Limits

The UBA resource center can be found at http://tinyurl.com/d8q5ana; stay up to date on new information by subscribing to the UBA “PPACA Resource Center” RSS feed from this page.

In addition to PPACA compliance news, UBA provides customized benchmarking data to help businesses compare their employee health benefits to competitors, and find savings through plan design. UBA’s 2013 Health Plan Survey, the largest in the nation with nearly 11,000 employers participating, along with the collective wisdom of its more than 140 industry leading Partner Firms, helps business owners and human resource executives make informed decisions that directly impact the bottom line by controlling the upward spiral of health care costs.
