Federal court recently struck down the easier pathway employers could use to form AHPs.
This pathway was created by the Department of Labor’s (DOL) 2018 final rule, which allowed more employers to form association health plans (AHPs) than previous DOL sub-regulatory guidance. Although employers may no longer rely on forming an AHP under the easier pathway (at least for now), they can still form AHPs under long-standing DOL guidance unaffected by the district court’s ruling. This white paper provides a background on the DOL’s final rule and reviews why Pathway 1 AHIPs are still viable.
