Are you in compliance with the new ERISA regulations?Disability insurers and administrators of disability plans operate in a highly regulated environment, and the Department of Labor has issued regulations controlling adjudication of disability claims by administrators that significantly deviate from past practices in the industry.
The regulations impose specific requirements for communicating with claimants, as well as additional substantive rules affecting the adjudication of such claims by administrators. This live webinar will help those charged with administering disability claims learn to comply with the regulations. It will explain what practices to follow, how to change past practices to become compliant with the regulations, and the risks of non-compliance. This workshop is critical for administrators, disability insurers and employers who want to ensure they are compliant with the applicable regulations.
