In response to the Federal TCR and CAA, Independence has established an enterprise-wide implementation program to ensure all requirements are implemented by the mandated compliance dates. The requirements for implementing the TCR and CAA are evolving, and Independence is committed to meeting the requirements by the mandated compliance dates.
To ensure your employees and their family members receive the care and services they need, Independence continues to:
As an employer, we understand and share your interest in helping employees get vaccinated. Independence covers the cost of administering vaccines with no cost-share (such as copays, deductibles, and coinsurance) for members regardless of where they receive the vaccine. We’ve also prepared vaccination questions and answers you can share with employees.
To help you foster a culture of full health and well-being for your employees, Independence offers the Behavioral Health Employee Communications Toolkit. This ready-to-use, multi-touch toolkit of employee communications is designed to promote dialogue and help address behavioral health challenges that may affect your workforce.
There are many considerations when it comes to determining how to return employees safely to the workplace. These include testing options and vaccinations, as well as how to support employees and address their concerns. If you are a large, self-funded group employer, our Workplace Ready program provides information on our many partner programs as well as resources and materials that you can share with your employees.
