Your feedback helps us learn and improve our service year-over-year. So, whether you’re in the throes of annual enrollment or gearing up for 2026, take a few minutes to think about how things are going, what’s working perfectly, and what could be improved next year.
Even better? Write a few notes to share with us on your next call with your client team. We would greatly appreciate hearing more about your specific experience.

What’s New in Compliance?
IRS Issues Draft Instructions for IRS forms 1094-B/1095-B and 1094-C/1095-C
The IRS recently issued drafts of the instruction documents for the IRS notices due to be produced in early 2026 for the tax year 2025.
Review the updated draft versions of the instruction documents for more context.
Gag Clause Prohibition Compliance Attestations are due on December 31.
Group health plans and health insurance issuers offering group coverage are required to submit their Gag Clause Prohibition Compliance Attestations (GCPCA) by the end of each calendar year.
Federal regulations prohibit these entities from entering into agreements with health care providers, provider networks or associations, third-party administrators (TPAs), or other service providers that offer access to provider networks if those agreements restrict the plan or issuer—either directly or indirectly—from:
- Sharing cost and quality information,
- Accessing de-identified claims data (as permitted under privacy laws), or
- Sharing such data with business associates.
To comply, group health plans must annually attest that they are not subject to any such gag clauses. This attestation must be submitted to the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and the Treasury, with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) collecting the attestations on behalf of these departments.
For more information, check out the CMS’ GCPCA site.
