NEW YORK, Sept. 23 (UPI) -- A majority of U.S. employers in a survey indicated they were updating communication materials to comply with the recently passed healthcare reform laws.

Of 1,000 companies responding to a survey sponsored by healthcare consulting firm HighRoads, 63 percent indicated they were creating new material to communicate changes to their staff and 65 percent indicated they had "no idea" how much communicating the changes to employees would cost.

But HighRoads said, "The biggest change expected in the next few years is updating summary plan descriptions for employees with 71 of the respondents indicating that was a likely company project within the next year."
