Gentry Locke’s Healthcare Plan Seminars a Success

On February 24, 25 and 26, 2004 a total of 125 attendees participated in Gentry Locke Rakes & Moore’s first set of morning briefings in Lynchburg, Roanoke and Blacksburg.  In a series of two-hour briefings, Gentry Locke attorneys supplied attendees with information critical to employer sponsored healthcare plans.  Attendees were provided with a key checklist to assist with HIPAA compliance, received an overview of the key provisions of the new Health Savings Act to help determine whether they could be an effective means of reducing employer’s healthcare costs and were provided with a detailed review of the new COBRA regulations with practical suggestions on how employers should prepare for the upcoming changes.
