PCORI fees may be an annual requirement, but they can still catch plan sponsors off guard, especially when self-funded arrangements, HRAs, level-funded plans, captives, or ICHRAs are involved.

In this episode of Comply on the Fly, Karen B. breaks down who is responsible for paying 2026 PCORI fees, which fee amount applies based on plan year end date, and how employers can calculate covered lives before filing Form 720.

Tune in for a practical reminder of what needs to be reviewed before the July 31 deadline, including common plan arrangements that may trigger direct payment responsibility and the methods available for calculating covered lives.
