Course Description

In June of 2012 the Supreme Court upheld the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (both acts commonly known as Health Care Reform). The impact of this decision affects every business in some way. This CLN will focus on how you and your business will be impacted and review some of the health care reform provisions that were effective starting in 2012 and beyond. Now is the time to review what impacted you for 2012 as well as what will impact you and your business for 2013 and 2014. Topics will include income tax implications for businesses and individuals, payroll issues, and a brief overview of benefits/insurance including effective dates. At the conclusion of the CLN you will have a general understanding of the key health care reform provisions and the considerations for you and your business.
