In addition to our internal compliance policies and procedures Meridian provides our clients with access to several best in class tools and resources. We have expertise to handle every facet of compliance for Iroquois from ERISA, HIPAA, ACA and DOL. Each year Meridian produces an annual compliance calendar that is managed through our CRM system. Our assignment/tracking feature allows us to proactively remind Iroquois of any compliance responsibilities that Meridian cannot handle on their behalf. This ensures that all deadlines are met and allows our clients to rest well in the knowledge that they are complying with all applicable laws. When new legislation is being enacted on both the State and Federal level, we notify Iroquois of the update as well as a plan of action for addressing any new requirements including writing plan modifications and submitting any written reports or other documents required by Federal, State or Local governments. Meridian accesses legislative and HR related information from a variety of sources including ThinkHR, ZyWave, UBA, ERISA attorney’s and several other vendors. As a Zywave partner, we and Iroquois have access to their team of attorneys who analyze ongoing compliance requirements and prepare clear and concise educational briefs on a variety of topics which are contained in their ‘content library’. Our partnership with United Benefit Advisors (UBA) provides us access to their team of in-house attorneys for any ACA or benefits questions that may arise throughout the year. In addition, Meridian utilizes Robinson & Cole as our ERISA attorneys on retainer for any specific client issues that may arise.
