Hello,
At Berg Benefits we value our clients and want to keep you updated on important current events relating to your benefit plans. The content below was selected to provide timely information for you and your employees.
*Please note that the Compliance Bulletin below describes in detail some action steps that your medical plan carrier (for fully insured plans) will accomplish on your behalf. For self-funded plans, most of the claims paying entities (TPAs) in conjunction with your pharmacy vendor (PBM) will do his required reporting. Berg Benefits will be in touch with all clients who need to engage this issue.
