Exempts certain employer-sponsored group health plans from Affordable Care Act's Essential Health Benefits requirements.
The Employer Health Plan Flexibility Act amends the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and the Public Health Service Act to exempt certain employer-sponsored group health plans governed by ERISA from the Affordable Care Act's Essential Health Benefits requirements. These plans must still comply with other federal requirements, including portability, nondiscrimination provisions, and mental health parity. Employers must annually provide participants with a notice detailing benefits, cost-sharing, and instructions for obtaining the Summary Plan Description.
