2022 Required Notices & Mandates for Group Health Plans

This SSG Compliance Advisor summarizes a list of 2022 Annual Required Notices and action items for group health plans. If your health benefits are insured, your providers may have sent some of these notices or included them in open enrollment materials, such as Summary Plan Descriptions (SPD) or Evidence of Coverage documents. These documents contain all the specific provisions of your plans. If the information in this document differs from your Plan Documents, the Plan Documents will prevail. Please confirm with the providers that these actions were taken. Employers do not need to re-send notices if the provider has already sent them to participants.

Most notices can be provided electronically to employees who have work-related access to the Internet.  Additionally, a print copy of the notices must be available at no charge on request.

If you would like an electronic copy of Sample Model Enrollment Notices that you can customize, please contact an SSG Benefit Advisor for further assistance.
