Regulatory Trends Decoded: Insights for Benefit Professionals

Regulatory Trends Q&A Highlights

  • Reimbursement Laws & Self-Funded Plans:
    Affect pass-through contracts most directly; PBMs and plans will need to adapt to NADAC-based rules.
  • Creditable Coverage & HDHPs:
    High-deductible plans may fall short of the 72% threshold; design tweaks may be required.
  • Machine-Readable File Compliance:
    Serve You Rx will support clients by generating required files and guidance.
  • Choosing Between 60% vs. 72% Tests:
    Plans meeting 72% should adopt it early; others can maintain 60% until 2027 transition.
  • State Law Applicability to ERISA Plans:
    Plans should review statutory exemptions, state court precedents, and general ERISA preemption standards; Serve You Rx offers compliance support without giving legal advice.

Key Takeaways for Benefit Professionals

  • State activity dominates PBM reform — stay alert to multi-state compliance implications.
  • Federal regulators are tightening oversight — from disclosure to transparency mandates.
  • ERISA preemption boundaries remain fluid — expect ongoing litigation.
  • Creditable coverage and transparency rules require early 2026–2027 preparation.
  • Serve You Rx supports clients proactively — translating policy into action to maintain compliance, affordability, and member-first outcomes.
