Vorys 2025 Benefits Conference

This presentation will offer a comprehensive overview of severance arrangements, focusing on legal compliance, monetary and non-monetary benefits and tailored strategies for different types of employers. Attendees will gain valuable insights into designing effective severance arrangements that align with employer policies and regulatory requirements.

All group health plans have relationships with a pharmacy benefit manager, either directly or indirectly.  We will cover the following:

• Presidential executive orders – a roadmap of what’s to come
• State regulation of PBMs – a federal void
• Avoiding fiduciary litigation
  
  

• Continued flexibility around telehealth services, especially for high-deductible health plans
• New legislative and regulatory efforts focused on healthcare access, cost transparency and administrative simplification
• Ongoing litigation that impacts fiduciary responsibilities

The goal of this presentation is to help employers and fiduciaries understand these updates and their potential implications for compliance.

This presentation will discuss law changes affecting employee benefits under the Act formerly known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, Secure 2.0 and Secure Act, some of the major implementation challenges that employers are facing and an implementation timeline.
