Preparing for PPACA Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act

Just one of the many ways Epps Financial Services is preparing so that we may properly educate our clients when the time comes :)


Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act Certification Course:

Developed by experts in both PPACA and employment law, this high-level, 10-hour course will ensure that students understand the key technical components of PPACA and are better prepared to counsel their clients on upcoming required healthcare changes and new options and requirements for health plans.

An overview of all regulations already issued will be presented along with details on specific regulations issued to date. Students will learn what is needed to comply with the new law as well as how the market is likely to change over the next few years. They will be able to develop client specific timelines and provide advice to guide clients in planning for the future.

This is a self-study course to be taken at the student’s own pace and includes convenient access to a personal online library. To ensure that students stay current on healthcare reform implementation, they will receive periodic updates as part of their continued NAHU membership subscription.
