When it comes to healthcare reform, what does an employer need to know for 2012 and beyond?

(PRWEB) December 10, 2012

Zane Benefits, the leader in Defined Contribution and Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) solutions for business health benefits, today published an article addressing 18 frequently asked questions about health care reform.

The article, titled Healthcare Reform Implementation FAQs, addresses the following questions:

1. As an employer, do I need to do anything in 2012 now that this is law?

2. Is the value of health benefits employers report on W-2’s taxable?

3. I heard there are small business tax credits available. When do they begin and am I eligible?
