BCBSA's Chief Employee Benefits Counsel also provides the Committee with an annual assessment of the organization's and the Committee's legal compliance, including compliance with ERISA. As employees of various Blue Plans, each Committee member not employed by BCBSA is subject to additional conflict of interest restriction under policies adopted by his or her Employer Plan. | |
