About the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Initiative (PCORI) fee reporting
The Affordable Care Act requires a minimal fee to be paid by companies based on the average number of participants covered by your company's Zane Benefits plan in the previous year. If you offered an HRA to your employees in 2023, you are required to fill out this form. While the 720 Form is a quarterly form, this fee is only due once by July 31st for the full 2023 year. Issuers or plan sponsors that file Form 720 only need to report the PCORI fee and will not need to file Form 720 for the year's first, third, or fourth quarter. Please note that the IRS has extended the PCORI fee filing requirement through 2029, which will be required each year.
While PeopleKeep cannot file this form for you, below you'll find detailed instructions for how to fill out and file this form.
