These FAQs were prepared jointly by the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services (HHS), and the Treasury (collectively, the Departments). Like previously issued FAQs, these FAQs answer questions from stakeholders to help people understand the law and benefit from it, as intended.

The FAQs cover the topics of coverage of preventive services, limitations on cost-sharing under the Affordable Care Act, expatriate health plans, wellness programs, fixed indemnity insurance, and the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008.  The FAQs can be found at http://www.dol.gov/ebsa/faqs/faq-aca18.html .
