“We have been very pleased with our decision to use Aita & Associates as our employee benefits broker. Bob Aita took the time to listen to our goals of increasing benefit options for our employees, working within budget constraints and staying compliant with all of the various laws and mandates of health reform. Their creativity and expertise helped us to reach each of those goals. Further, the personal service we received from Bob and his team extended to meeting with each employee, many of whom are non-English speaking, to ensure they understood the various plans we offer and help them make the best individual decision. Honesty, knowledge and creativity are things Santa Rosa Golf & Country Club looks for in a partner, and we found it with Aita Associates.”

Health Care Act Reform Glossary
Accountable Care Organization (ACO): These organizations coordinate patient care and provide the full range of health care services for patients. The health reform law provides incentives for providers who join together to form such organizations and who agree to be accountable for the quality, cost, and overall care of Medicare beneficiaries who are enrolled in the traditional fee-for-service program who are assigned to the ACO.Annual Benefit Limit: In the past, some insurance plans have placed a limit on the dollar amount of claims they will pay in a given year for an individual. Beginning in 2010, annual benefit limits on certain “essential health benefits” are restricted on a graduated basis, and annual limits will eventually be prohibited in 2014.
Basic Health Plan: Beginning in 2014, states will have the option of creating a basic health plan to provide coverage to individuals with incomes between 133 and 200 percent of poverty instead of enrolling in the health insurance exchange and receiving premium subsidies. The federal government will provide states that choose to offer this plan with 95 percent of what it would have paid to subsidize these enrollees in the health insurance exchange.
