About This Course:
HR departments bear responsibility for many aspects of regulatory compliance, and this includes meeting state and federal laws governing health insurance benefits.

If your organization offers health insurance to employees, you need to understand the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA). Compliance with this law is essential, but you also need to reduce your organization's liability. COBRA training can help you comprehend this complex regulation and balance your employees' needs with your company's interests.

What Are The Key Areas - And Problems - For Good COBRA Administration?

Good COBRA administration is essential for both employers and employees to ensure compliance with federal regulations and smooth continuation of healthcare coverage. Here are some key aspects for which you need to be on top of your game:
  • Understanding COBRA Regulations
  • Keeping accurate Record-Keeping
  • Handling Qualifying Events
  • Timely Notification
  • Enrollment Process
  • Premium Collection
  • Compliance Monitoring
  • Coordination with Third-Party Administrators (TPAs)

By focusing on these key areas, employers can effectively administer COBRA coverage, maintain compliance, and support continuity of healthcare benefits for eligible employees and their beneficiaries.
