Boost Mobile App Engagement
Fresh off AE or ready for the new year…use our engagement tools
The MyChoice® benefits app is a great way for employees to stay engaged with their benefits, ask Sofia questions, store their health plan cards, and more. With our full redesign that launched in early 2024, we saw our average app store ratings on the iOS app store increase from 4.1 to 4.8 (out of 5) since January, and our Google Play reviews went from 4.3 to 4.8 (out of 5)! Users are finding it a valuable resource. Use our system email or flyers to boost mobile use in the mobile toolkit.

End of year brings seasonal reporting requirements
With the end of 2024 approaching, we are reminding employers to review their end-of-year and Q1 requirements. These include:
- Gag Clause Attestations: Due by December 31, 2024. Check out the annual submission instructions for more information.
- The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) Non-Quantitative Treatment Limitations (NQTL): This guidance will impact 2025 and 2026 plan requirements. Review the final rule to ensure you are compliant.
- Non-Discrimination Testing: Your dependent Care FSA testing is likely complete, but in case it is not, ensure any outstanding 2024 action items are completed.
- Reproductive healthcare/attestation processes: Health plans should review the new regulations released earlier this year to confirm they are prepared to meet the new HIPAA requirements related to reproductive care.
- ACA 1095-C reporting: As annual enrollment winds down, employers turn their attention to 1095-C reporting. Employers should ensure their data is complete and ready for 1095-C form production and reporting. Download the 2024 1095-C form and review the 1095-C instructions.
