ERISA, ACA, COBRA, and CAA explained in plain English — one rule at a time. No legal fog, no deflection. The Head Ref cites the rule, explains the infraction, and states the consequence. You walk out knowing exactly what governs your plan and why it matters.
Your game isn't clean until we say it's clean.
The Head Ref and his 12-member officiating crew are on the field — The Head Ref (Head Ref) leads the crew through every regulation, every filing, every disclosure your health plan is required to produce. ERISA. ACA. COBRA. CAA. Each crew member watches a different part of the field so nothing gets missed. A dynasty that cuts corners on compliance is a dynasty that gets stripped of its titles.
The Four Pillars
The Compliance Command Center masterclass walks four disciplines. Each pillar is a rule enforced by the officiating crew. Each one ends with a posture your organization holds from this day forward.
A systematic review of your current compliance posture — identifying exactly where flags would be thrown. Missed filings, outdated plan documents, undisclosed broker compensation, gaps in governance. The crew marks every infraction before a regulator does.
CAA-mandated broker compensation disclosure is not optional. Not negotiable. If your broker is receiving indirect compensation and you haven't seen a written disclosure, you are already in violation. The crew explains exactly what's required, what to ask for, and what to do if it isn't there.
Fiduciary documentation, plan governance, and meeting minutes are evidence of good-faith stewardship. If you can't produce a paper trail showing deliberate, informed decisions on behalf of your plan participants, the flag is coming. The crew builds that trail with you.
The Clean Game Checklist
Four plays. Run them in sequence. Each one is enforced by a member of the 12-member officiating crew — Mack Torres on filings, Casey Lines on disclosures, Vince Ledger and Grant Ledger on documentation, Tara Clock on timelines. The Head Ref calls the game.
-
Inventory All Required Filings and Disclosures by Deadline
Form 5500, Summary Plan Description, Summary of Benefits and Coverage, COBRA notices, ACA reporting — every required filing mapped to its statutory deadline. No assumption that someone else is handling it. The crew confirms it or flags it.
-
Pull Every Broker Compensation Disclosure Under CAA and Verify
Request written disclosure from every broker and consultant receiving compensation in connection with your plan. Verify amounts, sources, and indirect arrangements. If it hasn't been disclosed in writing, it hasn't been disclosed. The crew won't accept verbal assurances.
-
Document Fiduciary Process — Meeting Minutes, Decision Rationale, Evidence
Every plan decision gets a written record: the question considered, the information reviewed, the decision made, and who made it. Meeting minutes are not a formality — they are your legal defense. Gail Review and Leo Marker watch this part of the field exclusively.

Schedule Quarterly Compliance Review with the 12-Member Officiating Crew
Compliance is not a one-time event. The crew returns every quarter — Riley Staton on regulatory updates, Nate Fields on plan amendments, Mia Hart on participant rights, Sammy Ticks on deadlines — to make sure no new flag has been earned since the last review.
The officiating crew's complete playbook for running a penalty-free season. Includes: Compliance Checklist (every required filing and disclosure mapped to deadline), Governance and Minutes Template (meeting minutes and decision rationale ready to use), Broker Disclosure Audit (CAA-compliant disclosure request and verification framework), and CAA Requirements Summary (plain-English guide to every Consolidated Appropriations Act obligation). Delivered to your portal. Enforced by the crew every quarter.
Ed locked down your compliance — every filing in order, every disclosure on record, every governance document built to withstand scrutiny. Now it's time to make sure every play in your health plan strategy hits at precisely the right moment. The Game Clock runs the Timing Lab: the 180-day cadence, the renewal clock, the decision windows that separate dynasties from also-rans.
