Health and Welfare Plans

Allen Matkins attorneys help clients with routine and merger-related issues related to health and welfare plans.

We design, draft and assist with day-to-day administration of: 

  • Medical coverage plans 
  • Cafeteria plans 
  • Disability plans 
  • Other welfare benefits plans

Our significant experience in mergers and acquisitions enables us to provide our clients with substantial guidance in the welfare plan arena. We frequently work with clients in situations where there is a continuing obligation to provide medical benefits to former employees. We also help clients comply with legal requirements imposed on self-funded medical plans, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
