Benefits and Breakfast: Latest Developments in Welfare Plans

Drinker Biddle held the latest Benefits & Breakfast, our series of in-person morning meetings taking place throughout 2019 in our offices around the country.

These roundtable presentations feature lawyers from our national Employee Benefits and Executive Compensation Group discussing new and emerging issues. We discussed benefits issues, networked with fellow professionals, and enjoyed a delicious breakfast.

Topic for the July Breakfast:

Our July presentation focused on emerging welfare plan topics, including the following:

• New Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) Regulations – Will a standalone HRA work for you?
• Recent Welfare Plan Litigation – Are you prepared to defend a lawsuit based on your current plan documentation and procedures?
• Privacy – Are changes to the HIPAA Privacy Rule in the future? Will new California privacy rules affect you?
• Health Plan Executive Order – What is coming for HSAs, FSAs, and health care price transparency initiatives?
