Thank you - your assumptions are correct and it sounds like we might not be able to merge them into out Plan. Each of the 20 facilities are jointly owned with 20 separate outside partners who work at the facility as well.

This is new for me and any insight shared would be appreciated. Our company purchased an organization with a MEP last year and we would like to merge the 20 facilities/employer plans into our single ER Plan. Can we handle it like a standard trust-to-trust conversion - addressing any protected benefits? I heard there are special consideration for MEPs, however I couldn't locate any conversation on unique issues we need to consider. Thank you.
