The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA) provides that virtually all employers that sponsor group health plans must permit covered persons who lose coverage under the plan as a result of certain events the ability to continue those benefits for a specified period of time on a self pay basis. The administrative demands for COBRA compliance are time consuming. The details of the law are extremely complex and constantly changing as a result of case law and legislative changes. The penalties for non-compliance can be substantial. CIS can provide your company with COBRA Administration services. We stay abreast of changes in the law and keep employers in compliance.
