"Anthem has said the added heft will work for employers, not against them. A bigger Anthem, it emphasizes, could drive better deals from doctors and hospitals and pass savings onto these customers. In addition, Anthem has argued that there still will be plenty of competition: large employers pit smaller, local insurers' bids against those of large national carriers in regional markets.... But an Aon Hewitt analysis of benefits data for Reuters found that a majority of large employers buy worker health benefits from just one or two insurers."

"More than 27,000 of the largest corporate 401(k) plans in the country had over $80 billion in the [PIMCO] Total Return Fund at the end of 2013 ... The roster included Wal-Mart's $20.6 billion plan, the largest in the country by participants, as well as Raytheon's and Verizon's.... There is no data on how many plans have replaced PIMCO Total Return for multiple managers or team managed funds, but advisers who consult retirement plans with tens of billions of dollars in assets told Reuters they are doing so."

"As U.S. officials warned that the technology behind Obamacare might not be ready to launch on October 1, the administration was pouring tens of millions of dollars more than it had planned into the federal website meant to enroll Americans in the biggest new social program since the 1960s. A Reuters review of government documents shows that the contract to build the federal Healthcare.gov online insurance website ... tripled in potential total value to nearly $292 million as new money was assigned to the work beginning in April this year."

The latest Thomson Reuters-NPR Health Poll found that a 16 percent of Americans indicated they sought pricing information before receiving healthcare services, and of those who did, 49 percent received this information from insurance companies. This represents a significant shift from when respondents were asked the same questions in 2010, when only 11 percent said they sought such pricing information.

"Of interest for 401(k) plans and health and welfare plans is a clarification regarding reporting of delinquent participant contributions on Schedule DCG, Schedule H, or Schedule I, as applicable.... References to the Voluntary Fiduciary Correction Program have been updated to reflect the most recent version (issued in early 2025). ... Other changes relate to defined benefit plans."

"CMS explains in the proposal's preamble that account-based plans are designed to provide cost savings through pre-tax contributions and reimbursements, and often supplement other coverage, rather than actually offering prescription drug coverage. Thus, the benefit design of account-based plans makes concepts such as the disclosure of creditable coverage inapplicable and unduly burdensome[.]"

[8] Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act (MMA) ... [9] Federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination."

"If your company sponsors a self-insured health plan and hires a TPA to handle administrative tasks -- such as processing claims and making payments -- your health plan is still responsible for complying with HIPAA's electronic transaction standards. The electronic transaction standards apply to a range of financial and administrative activities ... Even if a health plan delegates duties to third parties, the health plan remains ultimately responsible for compliance."

"Many 401(k) plans likely need to be amended to reflect the RMD applicable age change. Whether a plan needs to be amended to reflect the changes to post-death distributions will depend on the terms of the plan -- some may already provide for distribution of a participant's benefit earlier than required under this provision."

"[T]he OBBBA made permanent the safe harbor allowing high-deductible health plans (HDHPs) to cover telehealth and other remote care services before the minimum deductible is satisfied without losing their HDHP status. These services are also considered disregarded coverage on a permanent basis and thus will not cause a loss of HSA eligibility. "
