CBIZ HEALTH CARE REFORM
TOOLS AND RESOURCES
Navigating the Road of Health Care Reform: CBIZ Client Tools
for Handling the Curves and Avoiding the Steep Inclines
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) has now been a law for over two years. The Supreme Court issued its ruling
on June 28, 2012 and now the election results ensure implementation of the law. Since the initial enactment and ruling, many
provisions have been implemented, others have been repealed, some have been delayed and still other provisions don’t take
effect until 2013 - 2018, if at all.

CBIZ continues to be focused on monitoring the Health Care Reform implementation in Congress, the Administration, the
Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Labor, and the Internal Revenue Service, among others. We
analyze the reactions of industry, research organizations and foundations, and evaluate the potential ramifications. Then we
objectively inform our clients of the impact of the specific regulations on their business, while partnering with them to develop
the best strategy for their business going forward.

We have created several specialized tools and resources that will aid both CBIZ consultants and our clients in making informed
decisions about employee benefits strategy in the coming years. Some of those tools and resources include:

•	   HCR Analyzer
•	   Small Business Tax Credit Calculator
•	   Health Reform Bulletins
•	   Health Reform Matrix
•	   Grandfathered Plan Chart & Checklist
•	   Grandfathered Plan Allowable Increase Calculator
•	   The Decision Tree for MLR Rebates for Fully Insured 		
	    Health Plans
•	   White papers, articles and presentations on Health

  • 2. Navigating the Road of Health Care Reform: CBIZ Client Tools for Handling the Curves and Avoiding the Steep Inclines The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) has now been a law for over two years. The Supreme Court issued its ruling on June 28, 2012 and now the election results ensure implementation of the law. Since the initial enactment and ruling, many provisions have been implemented, others have been repealed, some have been delayed and still other provisions don’t take effect until 2013 - 2018, if at all. CBIZ continues to be focused on monitoring the Health Care Reform implementation in Congress, the Administration, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Labor, and the Internal Revenue Service, among others. We analyze the reactions of industry, research organizations and foundations, and evaluate the potential ramifications. Then we objectively inform our clients of the impact of the specific regulations on their business, while partnering with them to develop the best strategy for their business going forward. We have created several specialized tools and resources that will aid both CBIZ consultants and our clients in making informed decisions about employee benefits strategy in the coming years. Some of those tools and resources include: • HCR Analyzer • Small Business Tax Credit Calculator • Health Reform Bulletins • Health Reform Matrix • Grandfathered Plan Chart & Checklist • Grandfathered Plan Allowable Increase Calculator • The Decision Tree for MLR Rebates for Fully Insured Health Plans • White papers, articles and presentations on Health Care Reform THE CBIZ HCR ANALYZER – DYNAMIC.
