Instead of clarifying prior guidance or issuing novel interpretations of the law, the DOL is giving health plans an alternative way to comply with the contraceptive coverage mandate: either follow the prior guidance issued in 2022… or don’t! The DOL introduced the “therapeutic equivalence” approach, whereby plans can comply with the law in a different, potentially less-burdensome way. Join The Phia Group’s Kendall Jackson and Jon Jablon as they discuss this “therapeutic equivalence” approach to compliance, what it means for consumers, and what it means for health plans.</span></span></span><br /> <span aptos=""><br /> <a href="https://youtu.be/yol0L4GWzN4">Click here to check out the podcast!</a><span style="color:black"> (Make sure you subscribe to our </span><a href="https://youtu.be/yol0L4GWzN4">YouTube</a> <span style="color:black">and </span><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-phia-groups-podcast/id1246462552?mt=2" style="color:#467886; text-decoration:underline"><span style="color:#0071ce">Apple Podcasts</span></a> <span style="color:black">Channels!)</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span aptos="" style="font-family:"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><span calibri="" style="font-family:"></span></span></span></span></p> 1314Empowering Plans: P182 – Navigating Post-Settlement Fund Pursuitshttps://www.phiagroup.com/Media/Posts/PostId/1311/empowering-plans-p182-navigating-post-settlement-fund-pursuitsPodcastsThu, 15 Feb 2024 21:11:27 GMT<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fRX_QUf4ox8?si=Q7yOlslKZpT6jHk5" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color:#000000;"> <span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span aptos=""> Attorneys Andrew Silverio and Cindy Merrell discuss a newly decided case which provides a roadmap for pursuing settlement funds after disbursement.
