The Internal Revenue Service has released guidance for religious congregation medical insurance programs.
The final regulations, “Exception to the HIPAA Nondiscrimination Requirements for Certain Grandfathered Church Plans,” appear today in the Federal Register.
The final regulations provide advice about how to apply Section 9802(c) of the Internal Revenue Code.
The section, created by the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, eases the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act health plan fairness rules that otherwise would apply to church health plans that already were in place in 1997.
