Nfp Benefits Compliance Podcast

In this episode, Chase Cannon and Suzanne Spradley recap the 10-year extension of the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR) fee, which is now set to run through 2029. Chase digs into the background of the PCOR Institute, the non-profit organization funded by the PCOR fee, which supports clinical effectiveness research, including studies on treatments and outcomes for a wide variety of conditions and illnesses. Chase and Suzanne discuss several examples of studies and spotlights on the PCOR Institute webpage, including several studies relating to diabetes treatments. The two also discuss the revival of the PCOR fee and the IRS’s recent announcement of the adjusted fee amount, and then close by addressing several questions that have arisen from employer failures to pay the fee in past years.
