Action Needed: PCORI Fee Due July 31, 2013

On July 31, 2013, a new fee will first become payable by health insurers and certain employers who sponsor self-insured health plans. The fee, known as the comparative effectiveness or PCORI fee, applies to both fully-insured and self-insured plans. Since insurers, however, are responsible for the fee for fully-insured plans, this Advisory will focus on plan sponsor responsibility for the fee for self-insured plans sponsored by employers.
