ACA Compliance & Reporting Services
Give your coverage a checkup.
Are your employees covered?
Despite fevered debate and numerous legislative efforts, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is still in effect. So if you’re an employer with 50 or more full-time employees, you could face penalties if you don’t provide your workers with adequate health insurance.
You might initially think that you must provide full-scale health insurance policies to your full time employees to maintain ACA compliance. However, there may be better options to provide quality coverage for your staff.
Through our ACA compliance services, you can make sense of this complex legislation and track any changes that could be on the horizon. Our team can assess the impact of the employer-shared responsibility rules and suggest a variety of solutions for employer-provided health benefits. We can help you determine whether you fall under ACA requirements, review staffing structure to see how it impacts qualification, evaluate affordable coverage options, and assist you with ACA compliance.
Tackling ACA Requirements
To remain within ACA compliance employers must:
- Track hours of service
- Determine whether they are a large employer subject to the law
- Identify which full-time employees can trigger a penalty
- Understand the consequences of not offering basic coverage to full-time employees
- Consider whether to offer affordable, minimum value coverage
- Determine whether to “pay or play”
- Report required information to the IRS
Do you have the experienced personnel to perform these steps and establish an ACA strategy? If you’re not sure, then you need a multi-disciplinary team that can guide you through the process.
