COBRA Training & Certification Program

Outcomes This course contains numerous End Of Lesson Quizzes to help you measure your progress and mastery of the materials. You can test to earn a "Certified COBRA Administrator" designation upon successful completion of the program. This program also qualifies for eight hours of PHR and SPHR re-certification credits! Assessment Certification tests are comprised of 50 randomly-generated questions that are mostly multiple choice, scenario-based questions that test the student`s ability to apply the learned content. A score of 85 or higher is required to earn a Certification. The COBRA Training & Certification Program Fully Updated For The 2004 Regulations! Changing rules, regulations, and court cases make COBRA compliance extremely complex. And as several well-known Fortune 500 companies have learned the hard way, improper COBRA administration can have costly results. Our COBRA Training & Certification Program - a recipient of the "ASTD Excellence In Design" award - provides comprehensive information on the many and varied COBRA requirements and procedures. The Program''''s easy-to-learn design has numerous tips, examples, and procedural recommendations that are interspersed with interactive Q and A sessions so that you are confident that you are learning and in where your strengths and weaknesses lie. Its "Bookmark" feature also lets you learn at your own pace, and gives you the ability to review previously completed material. Besides the basics and the new regulations, you will also learn advanced techniques so you can:

• Proactively determine Cessation Of Dependency Status and other potential Qualifying Events before you are notified or - perhaps even worse - find out after the fact
• Use Affirmative Rejection and Alternative Coverage design options to reduce health care and claims costs
• Handle Medicare, FMLA, and other coordination issues
• Know how to address the new notice requirements, region-specific HMO issues, Health Flexible Spending Accounts, and other items where new guidance was recently issued

"The COBRA Training & Certification Program is providing my staff with an excellent foundation for understanding and applying COBRA`s complex and often confusing regulations. It is amazing how many times, as I was studying through the material, that a question raised by one of the staff was the very issue I read the day before. Having completed the material, I am much better prepared to answer the inquiries of our clients and their COBRA participants." - Dana Hofseth

" I truly enjoyed being able to take the Training & Certification Program right at my own computer! My schedule is very busy and it was nice being able to study and test on my timeline and not someone else`s. Thank you for providing this service!" - Sandra Wilcox
