Benchmark: Excepted Fertility Benefits Under Proposed Group Health Plan Regulations

Take this benchmark to assess how much you would benefit from taking the course on the Proposed Rule on Special Rules Relating to Group Health Plans (45 CFR Part 146).

This quick check helps you gauge how well you understand what the proposal means for real-world plan design and administration—especially around excepted fertility benefits, notices, and the public comment process.

• Why it matters: The rule could change how fertility benefits are offered, capped, and communicated, affecting participant experience and compliance risk.
• What you’ll learn by taking the full course: the rule’s intent and trade-offs, operational implications (notices, records, eligibility), and how to engage effectively during the comment period.
• Who it helps: employers, plan administrators, insurers, and informed consumers who make or influence benefit decisions.

Use the results to decide if you should dive deeper into the course now or skim targeted sections.
