Description: EBSA exercises delegated
authority under ERISA to protect
workers’ pensions and group health
benefits and has issued regulations
under Part 7, codified at 29 CFR
2590.701–1 et seq., to effectuate these
rights and provide guidance to affected
group health plans pertaining to a
number of laws applicable to group
health plans, including Health
Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), the
Newborns’ and Mothers’ Health
Protection Act of 1996, the Mental
Health Parity Act of 1996, and the
Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act
of 1998. In 2001, EBSA conducted a
program to increase compliance with
these laws, the Health Disclosure and
Clainms.
Issues: Fiscal Year 2001 Compliance
Project (HDCI). EBSA is now planning
to conduct a follow-up program to
assess the effectiveness of its
compliance assistance efforts that will
involve the examination of a number
and variety of group health plans that is
sufficient to constitute a representative
sample of existing plans from which
EBSA can extrapolate compliance rates
for group health plans in general.
However, in order to make its
assessment meaningful, EBSA must first
identify ERISA-covered single-employer
group health plans in two groups: (1)
Plans sponsored by firms with 3–99
employees, and (2) plans sponsored by
firms with 100 or more employees.
EBSA intends to conduct a narrowscope, one-time telephone survey of
business firms in order to identify a
representative sample of large and small
group health plans sponsored by
private-sector employers. The agency
intends to ask each firm a limited
number of questions designed to
determine whether the firm sponsors a
group health plan covered by Title I of
ERISA and how many employees are
covered under the plan.
