Title: ●Amendments to Excepted Benefits (CMS-9946-F) | |
Abstract: This final rule implements limited excepted benefits under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, the Internal Revenue Code, and the Public Health Service Act, as amended by the Affordable Care Act. Excepted benefits are generally exempt from the health reform requirements of those laws. The types of limited excepted benefits addressed by the rule include limited scope vision or dental benefits, and benefits for long-term care, nursing home care, home health care, or community based care. The rule would be effective for plan years starting in 2015 and describes the circumstances under which employers would be permitted to provide wraparound coverage in the form of excepted benefits (limited wraparound coverage) without disqualifying an employee from eligibility for premium tax credits and cost-sharing reductions. | |
