Important Information
The Affordable Care Act and You
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires applicable large employers to make affordable coverage available to their employees or risk
paying a penalty. Although the individual mandate is no longer effective beginning January 1, 2019, it is important that you understand
your options for health insurance coverage. You may consider these options below:
• Enroll in a medical plan offered by Catasys or another group plan
• Purchase coverage through a health insurance marketplace
• Enroll in coverage through a government-sponsored program if eligible
Because Catasys’ medical plans are considered affordable and meet minimum value under the Affordable Care Act, you will not
generally see lower premiums or out-of-pocket costs through the marketplace. In addition, employer contributions to your medical
benefits will be lost if you choose to purchase coverage through the marketplace, and your portion of medical premiums will no longer
be paid via payroll deductions on a pre-tax basis.

participants. The following is a list of the annual notices:
