CCH Offers Complete Text, Explanation, Analysis of New Health Care Reform Law
(RIVERWOODS, ILL., April 14, 2010) – Now, there’s a single, comprehensive
resource from CCH that explains and makes accessible the sweeping changes
brought about by recently enacted health care reform legislation: CCH's Law,
Explanation and Analysis of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act,
Including Reconciliation Act Impact. The authoritative new resource provides
employers, health, insurance and legal professionals with comprehensive explanation
and analysis of every aspect of the Act and its accompanying Health Care
Reconciliation Act. CCH is part of Wolters Kluwer Law & Business, a leading
provider of information and software solutions for legal, healthcare, business
compliance and human resources professionals (hr.cch.com; health.cch.com).
“Significant portions of this legislation are going into effect as early
as this year, and changes will imminently impact thousands of employers,
insurance industry professionals and health care providers,” said Janeen
Kopale, Director, CCH Corporate Compliance Market. “With this comprehensive
new book, we’re helping to make sure professionals have all the resources
they need to understand, interpret and make optimal decisions about every
provision.”
The two-volume book includes CCH explanations of all provisions, from insurance
market reforms to Medicare and Medicaid program changes, including the revenue
provisions that impose new taxes and fees to fund and guide reform.
The legislation covers a wide range of topics of interest to employers and
the insurance industry, including enhanced employer responsibility, health
insurance exchanges and an individual responsibility mandate. Health providers
and beneficiaries will be affected by expanded eligibility rules for Medicaid
and the Children's Health Insurance Program, reimbursement changes for physicians
and hospitals to focus on primary and preventive care, provisions to increase
coverage in rural areas and expansion of existing value-based purchasing
and quality programs for Part A providers.
In all, CCH’s expert analysts crafted nearly 500 explanations detailing the
impact of the legislation. To unravel the complexity of the Patient Protection
and Affordable Care Act, as amended by its Manager’s Amendment (Title X)
and further by the Reconciliation Act, the book also includes an editorially
enhanced version of the new law with all amending language integrated in
place in the law text. This integrated version of the Patient Protection
and Affordable Care Act provides readers immediate access to the final, fully
amended impact of each provision of the new law.
Comprehensive Coverage and Ease of Use: Text, Reports and Tables
In addition, CCH’s coverage includes the full text of Executive Order 13535
and congressional committee reports that provide significant background information
on the law, as well as numerous finding devices to help navigate between
analysis and the official text documents.
A number of tables provide at-a-glace information that speeds research. Three
tables of effective dates are keyed to sections of the Social Security Act,
ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code. Other tables correlate sections of the
Social Security Act, ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code to CCH explanations,
listing the sections of each which have been added, amended or repealed,
and listing the Act sections amending each one.
