2027 Compliance Priorities for Plan Sponsors

Segal Webinar
Date: Tuesday, December 1, 2026
 
Time: 3–4 pm ET 

As 2026 draws to a close, plan sponsors face a changing compliance environment across both health and retirement benefits. New rules, evolving guidance and legislative developments raise important questions about what requires attention now, what remains in flux and what organizations should be preparing for in 2027. 

Join us on December 1 for a practical, forward-looking session on the regulatory, legislative and fiduciary developments that could influence plan priorities in the year ahead. 

We'll examine recent developments related to the Independent Dispute Resolution process for services covered by the No Surprises Act, pharmacy benefits manager (PBM) transparency and reform, evolving guidance and enforcement updates related to mental health parity, fiduciary oversight considerations and key retirement regulatory developments, with an emphasis on separating current action items from issues that plan sponsors should continue to monitor. 

The session will discuss:

  • Important health and retirement compliance issues to carry into 2027 
  • Developing rules, guidance and legislation that could affect plan responsibilities 
  • Fiduciary oversight of service providers, including documentation, IDR operations, PBM reporting and contracting considerations 
  • Year-ahead preparation focus areas as regulatory and legislative developments unfold
