LVBCH Employer Seminar - April 7, 2015

"ACA Reporting . . . SOLVED"

Are you concerned about the new recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the Affordable Care Act (ACA)?  If so, you are not alone!  The ACA has imposed significant information reporting responsibilities on employers starting with the 2015 calendar year.

To help you get a better understanding of not only what you need to do to be ACA compliant but how to do it, you are invited to attend an educational event provided by the Lehigh Valley Business Coalition on Healthcare (LVBCH) and sponsored by BSI Corporate Benefits. This session is designed to help LVBCH employer members understand the new reporting requirements of the ACA. 

As an added bonus, our event sponsor - BSI Corporate Benefits - will give the first 50 LVBCH registered attendees at  the ACA Reporting Seminar four (4) FREE BSI Dugout suite tickets to see the IronPigs vs. Reading Phillies at this year's first preseason baseball game at Coca-Cola Park.
