What is required in the florida employee health care access act?

The Florida Employee Health Care Access Act (EHCAA) requires certain employers in Florida to provide health insurance coverage for their employees. Here are some key points about the EHCAA:

  1. The EHCAA applies to employers with 50 or more full-time equivalent employees working in Florida.

  2. Employers subject to the EHCAA must provide minimum essential health care coverage to their employees, which includes coverage for preventive care services, prescription drugs, and mental health services.

  3. Employers must contribute at least 80% of the cost of the premium for employee-only coverage and at least 50% of the cost for dependent coverage.

  4. Employers must offer coverage to employees who work at least 30 hours per week.

  5. Employers must provide employees with a notice informing them of their health care coverage options and outlining their rights under the EHCAA.

Failure to comply with the EHCAA can result in penalties and fines for employers. It is important for employers to understand and comply with the requirements of the EHCAA to ensure they are providing adequate health care coverage for their employees.
