Employer Information

The Division of Health Care Finance and Policy and Associated Industries of Massachusetts (AIM) are convening interactive forums for Massachusetts employers to discuss the impact of federal health care reform on businesses in the Commonwealth. Area businesses are invited to participate. The forum's key objective is to foster dialogue between state officials and employers about national health care reform and what it means for businesses across the state.

Several provisions of federal health reform that impact employers are effective immediately. In 2010 and 2011, important provisions for employers include small business tax credits to offer health coverage, reinsurance for retiree health coverage, employer notice requirements, and grants for worksite wellness programs. A short summary of some of these provisions is provided.

This guide provides a high-level overview of the federal health reform law signed by President Obama on March 23, 2010 and how it may impact Massachusetts employers, with suggestions on where to find more information.
