While the most notable part of CAA21 appears to be the *No Surprises Act*, the bill also contained new rules on prescription drug and healthcare spending, introduced the requirement of NQTL analyses for Mental Health Parity, and many more annual considerations for plan sponsors and other plan fiduciaries. Feeling overwhelmed? Don't worry! **During this session,** we'll take the surprise out of staying compliant under the CAA21 and subsequent regulations and give a high-level overview of where we stand now on the various aspects of the new rules. ### Who is MZQ Consulting?  MZQ Consulting is a boutique ACA and benefits compliance consultancy, helping people navigate the complex world of employee benefits compliance through deep expertise and superb client service. ### How do I register for the webinar?  You can register for the webinar by clicking the button below.  [Register here](https://insights.q4intel.com/registration-for-educational-webinars-q4inetwork)   Photo by [itchaznong](https://www.123rf.com/profile_itchaznong) ---   *© 2023 MZQ Consulting, LLC.
