Guest TPAStacey Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 I think I know the answer, I just need some reassurance and some guidance to citations, if possible. There are a group of attorneys who have support staff. The company wants to offer and pay for health insurance for the support staff only and not pay for health insurance for the attorneys. From what I can tell, there would be no discrimination testing b/c the insurance would be provided 100% through health insurance. Also, I'm assuming that attorneys vs. support staff would be an acceptable classification. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Simmons Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 Just make sure that you don't have a HIPAA discrimination problem in drawing that distinction. That will depend perhaps on the health status of the excluded attorneys as compared to the included staff. From a tax perspective, no problem.

leevena Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 I would suggest checking with your carrier participation rules. Depending on the carrier, and the size of your group, you may not meet the requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
