Consider a scenario most HR teams have seen play out more than once: an employee shows up to the emergency room with a sinus infection because they didn't know how to find an urgent care clinic in their network.

That's a problem, because the requirement has been in place since the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (CAA 2021) took effect, annual attestations are now a standing compliance obligation, and the Department of Labor (DOL), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and Department of the Treasury are all watching.
