Is Your Benefits Plan a “Double-Dip” Scheme? | A HIT-chat with Alden Bianchi
There are a lot of plan designs out there that promise tax advantages, cost savings, or “creative” ways to structure benefits… but not all of them are compliant. Some are even double-dipping schemes that can create major legal and financial risk for employers.
So we brought in someone who actually knows this space at the highest level: Alden Bianchi — a nationally-recognized employee benefits attorney who:
- Testified before the U.S. Senate Finance Committee during the development of the ACA
- Served as Mitt Romney’s outside counsel on the Massachusetts health care reform law
- Helped shape the very framework that became the Affordable Care Act
Yeah… he knows a thing or two.
In this episode, we break down:
- Where employers get into trouble
- How these “tax-advantaged” plan designs really work
- What not to do
- How to evaluate whether your plan is actually compliant
Clear, practical, and a must-watch for HR, consultants, CFOs, and anyone touching employee benefits strategy.
