We are approaching a new year and the health exchange has been gaining momentum over the past 11 months. With that there have been some positive changes that have occurred that we can pass along to NPMA members. The fee associated with participation on the platform has changed from a per eligible participant fee, to only those that actually take some type of coverage and do participate in the coverage options. The saves the plan monthly for those members that chose not to take part in the benefits. The monthly fee has also been reduced as of January 1, 2019 from $6.00 per participant down to $1.25 per participant per month. We have an exciting new HR platform that we are rolling out to NPMA groups that allows for a multitude of new functionality. For more information contact JerriLynn Cobb at jerrilynn@dkyoung.com.
