On March 18, 2011, the Department of Labor (DOL) issued Technical Release 2011-01 (2011 Technical Release) to provide an extension of the non-enforcement period relating to certain interim procedures for internal claims and appeals under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). The Technical Release serves to extend and modify the original non-enforcement period that was provided under Technical Release 2010-02 (2010 Technical Release), issued by the DOL on Sept. 20, 2010. The 2011 Technical Release gives employers that sponsor non-grandfathered group health plans yet more time to comply with PPACA's requirement to have an effective internal claims and appeals process, which is generally effective for plan years beginning on or after Sept. 23, 2010.
