"ERISA's Implications for State Health Care Access Initiatives: Ask the Expert"
ERISA (the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974) was created to establish uniform federal standards to protect private employee pension plans from fraud and mismanagement. But the federal statute also covers most other types of employee benefits plans, including health plans. The National Academy for State Health Policy and the State Coverage Initiatives program co-sponsored a Cyber Seminar to discuss ERISA's implications for state health care access initiatives.
