COBRA Administration

Like the reptile of the same name, COBRA can be deadly. The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA) introduced a fair and equitable plan of insurance for employees and dependents who no longer qualify under your health plan coverage.

But did you know that not understanding the laws can cost you thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of dollars in penalties, fines, and liability suits? It only takes one minor mistake or oversight to incur penalties or allow an opening for lawsuits. In addition, keeping track of the necessary notifications, time periods, and billings can become a major hassle for busy employers.

Reduce Risk. Reduce Costs. Reduce Paperwork.
