LAS VEGAS - TelAve -- Health insurance notices from employers, officially called Notices of Coverage Options, are documents required under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). These notices explain the Health Insurance Marketplace (sometimes called the "Marketplace") and guide employees on how to explore alternatives to employer-sponsored coverage.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, employers subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) must provide these notices to all new employees within 14 days of their hire date. In Nevada, employees are directed to Nevada Health Link, the state's official Marketplace, where they can review coverage options and check eligibility for financial assistance.

Why Employers Must Provide Marketplace Notices
The ACA requires these notices so that employees are aware of their right to explore health insurance outside their workplace plan. Notices give employees clear, standardized information to compare employer coverage with Marketplace options.

• Nevada Health Link emphasizes that Marketplace plans may provide more affordable coverage, especially if premium tax credits are available.
• The U.S. Department of Labor confirms that while employers must distribute notices, there is currently no fine for failing to do so.

This requirement promotes transparency, ensuring that every worker has access to unbiased information about Nevada Health Link and potential cost-saving options.

Who Receives Health Insurance Notices?
Employers covered by the FLSA must give these notices to:

• All new employees within 14 days of hire, regardless of whether they qualify for the employer's health plan.
• Both part-time and full-time workers.
• Employees at nearly all businesses with one or more employees.

Notices are not required for dependents or non-employees, since the law focuses on informing workers directly about Nevada Health Link coverage.

What Information Is Included in Marketplace Notices?
A typical health insurance notice from an employer provides:

• An explanation of what the Marketplace is and how to access it (in Nevada, through Nevada Health Link).
• Guidance on premium tax credits, including eligibility if the employer's plan:

         o Covers less than 60% of allowed costs, or
o Costs more than 9.04% of household income in 2025.

• A reminder that choosing a Marketplace plan may mean losing the employer's contribution toward premiums, which could also affect tax advantages.

These details help employees understand how Marketplace coverage compares to their workplace plan.
