Stay informed. Stay confident.

Our role is to help employers stay informed, understand their obligations and feel more confident as they manage day‑to‑day responsibilities. We provide education, tools and support around key regulations so you do not have to sort through everything alone.

Major regulations we assist with:

Affordable Care Act (ACA)

We help employers understand ACA reporting requirements, measurement and stability periods, and how plan design decisions may affect full‑time employees and eligibility. Our goal is to provide clear information so you can work with your internal and external advisors to complete required filings and notices with greater confidence.

ERISA

We offer support around ERISA-related responsibilities, including plan documentation, summary plan descriptions and required disclosures. We help bring together the information you need so you can work with your advisors to keep documents organized and up to date.

PCORI

We provide reminders and information about PCORI fees and timelines for applicable plans, helping employers stay aware of upcoming due dates and filing expectations.

Form 5500

For plans that require Form 5500 filings, we assist with gathering plan information and coordinating with appropriate vendors and advisors so the reporting process is easier to manage.

COBRA

We provide reminders and information about PCORI fees and timelines for applicable plans, helping employers stay aware of upcoming due dates and filing expectations.

HIPAA

We provide education on HIPAA-related considerations for group health plans, including privacy and security awareness for benefits administration. While we do not provide legal advice, we help make it easier for employers to understand where additional safeguards and internal processes may be needed.

Legal partners and resources

Compliance is a team effort.

Michigan Planners collaborates with respected law firms, including Clark Hill and Bodman PLC, as resources on complex benefits questions and developments. These relationships allow us to bring clients timely education, updates and insight while reinforcing that legal advice always comes from licensed counsel.

Monthly compliance webinars with the Bodman team

To help employers stay current, we host a monthly compliance webinar series in partnership with the Bodman team. Each session focuses on timely topics such as new legislation, regulatory updates and practical considerations for HR teams and leadership. Attendees can also earn SHRM professional development credits for participating, making it easier to stay informed while meeting ongoing education goals.

Michigan Planners provides education and support on employee benefits compliance matters. We do not provide legal or tax advice. Employers should consult with their own legal counsel or tax advisors regarding specific questions or decisions related to ACA, ERISA, PCORI, Form 5500, COBRA, HIPAA or any other laws and regulations.
