In the face of complex and ever changing federal laws, COBRA and HIPAA are critical components of Health & Welfare Plan Administration. By using custom software, Phoenix Benefit Administrators, LLC. gives clients the tools and technical support they need to achieve COBRA and HIPAA compliance.
Phoenix Benefit Administrators‘ secure record keeping system documents all dates of relevant benefit events, while adhering with strict compliance to HIPAA privacy and security regulations. Most importantly, our expertise helps our clients avoid costly penalties due to non-compliance. Persons responsible for providing benefits under a group health plan may be assessed stringent non compliance penalties for their failure to comply with COBRA and HIPAA.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) has added a level of complexity. Since its enactment, HIPAA has imposed new record keeping, notification and disclosure requirements on group health plans in addition to privacy and security regulations. Like COBRA, HIPAA’s rules extend to group health plans sponsored covered by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA).
PBA staff members are available to the Plan Sponsor and COBRA participants to provide problem resolution support by telephone, postal mail, secure internet and by personal visitation to the Benefits Office.
