HealthNow Administrative Services’ (HNAS) strategy is to deliver integrated benefit products with administrative services to streamline employer benefit processes. By leveraging HNAS’ expertise in COBRA administration, employers will save countless hours in administrative tasks that fall outside of their core responsibilities. Our COBRA administration includes:

• Initial notification of COBRA continuation rights to all newly eligible employees and spouses
• Provision of monthly payment coupons to COBRA participants
• Sending of subsequent reminder letters in the event payment is not made timely
• Notification that the right to elect continued coverage has expired
• Notification that coverage is terminated
• Maintenance of all records needed in the event of a COBRA complaint and handling of all communication with the Department of Labor

Another time consuming responsibility of group health plans is HIPAA administration. Our developed processes and systems save clients a great deal of time and expense in this often laborious task. From the issuance of creditable coverage certificates to the appropriate declassification of protected health information, HNAS assists in keeping our clients completely HIPAA compliant.

With over 30 years of experience in administering self-funded benefit plans, our clients can be confident that the accuracy and expediency of HNAS’ COBRA and HIPAA administration will exceed all expectations.
