New Certification in Healthcare Reform Sets Standard for Insurance and HR Professionals

West Palm Beach, FL, September 25, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Certified Healthcare Reform Specialist® was developed to help provide insight, answers and solutions to human resource and insurance professionals. “With thousands of pages of rules, interpretations and more it is almost impossible for human resource and insurance professionals to not only understand the law, but to keep up with new rules and interpretations. This new comprehensive healthcare reform certification was developed from past certification courses we have offered at our National Healthcare Reform conference since 2010. We were the first organization to offer healthcare reform certification in the country, and now we will be the leader in providing the first truly comprehensive certification and designation,” said Jonathan Edelheit, Editor-in-Chief of Healthcare Reform Magazine®.

The course is available for individuals, both online and also through in-person classes. Both insurance companies and employers have also arranged for private group training for their senior staff. By allowing your staff to participate in the certification and receive the CHRS designation, you are ensuring that they will have the most up-to-date PPACA compliance strategies at their fingertips. Certified Healthcare Reform Specialists® can help organizations establish and maintain a competitive edge through complete comprehension of PPACA and knowing how to comply with it.

“We are in the process now of certifying senior executives at several insurance companies who wish their staff to have a competitive edge in knowledge when speaking to their clients,” commented Jonathan Edelheit.

Healthcare Reform Certification will be available at the 3rd annual National Healthcare Reform Conference, October 24-26th, http://www.healthcarereformconference.com beachfront at the Westin Diplomat Spa & Resort in Fort Lauderdale/Miami Beach, Florida. F or those unable to attend, certification courses will be available online.
