On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act into law, amended on March 30, 2010 by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively the “PPACA”). PPACA is a comprehensive health reform act that contains numerous initiatives and provisions that are likely to have significant impact on hospitals and other medical service providers and suppliers. Given the scope and expansiveness of PPACA, Shipman & Goodwin LLP will assist you in digesting much of this new information by providing you with a series of employee benefits, health and tax informational alerts describing the ways in which PPACA may impact your operations. The first of our health law series will focus on PPACA compliance initiatives. The following provides a summary of some of the more noteworthy compliance related topics addressed by PPACA.
If you have any questions regarding PPACA, please feel free to contact one of the members of our Health Law Practice Group as listed on our Health Care Reform Resource Center.
