Do You Have a Self-Funded Health
Plan?
If so, you may be required to file Form 720 by July 31, 2013 and pay a new fee of $1 per covered life.
Professional guidance is advised, as there are several methods for calculating this fee. Virtually all
self-funded health plans are subject to this new fee, even most health reimbursement arrangements
(HRAs) and some flexible spending arrangements (FSAs).
Application of the new fee
Your self-funded plan may be subject to this new fee even if you
are not required to file a Form 5500 for that plan (e.g., plans
with less than 100 participants, government plans, etc.).
Why the new fee is being levied
This new fee funds the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research
("PCOR") Institute established by the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act of 2010. For 2012 fiscal years, the PCOR
fee is $1 multiplied by the average number of lives covered
under the plan. The first annual fee is due by July 31, 2013 for
plan years ending between October 1, 2012, and December
31, 2012. The fee is remitted on Form 720, Quarterly Excise
Tax Return.
Proper calculation of the fee
While the calculation of the fee may seem straight forward,
there are several nuances to deriving the proper fee owed. For
assistance in determining whether your plan is subject to the
PCOR fee and how to calculate and remit the fee, contact your
local CBIZ or MHM advisor.
