it is true that there are several new fees under the law that may increase coverage for insurers and employers. and as with your employer in many instances these fees will be passed along to covered workers in the form of higher health insurance premiums. and yes these will be applied across the board to all consumers covered by the employered-sponsored insurance policy.
i work in nw ohio and i have employer-sponsored medical. . however in a recent update we were told there are "many changes" in the new law and we can expect increased costs as well as new "fees. " reinsurance assessment pcori fee and a 3rd one i don't remember. are these fees across the board and standard or can companies collect a "fee" and say it is part of the new law? i am worried i will be paying fees that are inflated. what controls are in place for these types of charges?
