HIPAA also added section 101(g) to ERISA, 29 U.S.C. 1021(g), providing the Secretary with the authority to require, by regulation, annual reporting by MEWAs that are not ERISA-covered plans.

Specifically, this section now provides that the Secretary shall, by regulation, require multiple employer welfare arrangements providing benefits consisting of medical care (within the meaning of section 733(a)(2) of ERISA, 29 U.S.C. 1191b(a)(2)) which are not ERISAcovered group health plans to register with the Secretary prior to operating in a State and may, by regulation, require such MEWAs to report, not more E:\FR\FM\01MRN1.SGM 01MRN1
