Group Health Plan Gag Clause Attestation 2024 Submission Reference Guide
On May 24, 2024, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Department of Labor (DOL), and the Department of the Treasury (collectively, the Departments) released updated Gag Clause Prohibition Compliance Attestation submission instructions detailing the requirements for health plans to submit annual gag clause prohibition compliance attestations (GCPCAs) to the Departments for 2024.
Employers are advised to start preparing to submit this GCPCA for 2024, the deadline of which is December 31, 2024.
This article serves as a reference guide with detailed instructions and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) user manual screenshots for those employers sponsoring group health plans who are required to submit GCPCAs directly to the Departments, rather than relying on their carrier/third-party administrator (TPA), or other plan service provider to submit on their behalf.
