Unlocking Compliance: The Crucial Role of ACA Management
In the complex landscape of employee benefits and healthcare regulations, compliance is paramount for organizations. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) mandates that employers provide affordable health insurance to eligible employees and report specific information to the IRS. Navigating these requirements can be daunting, but with Secova’s ACA Management solutions, organizations can unlock compliance with ease. This blog explores the pivotal role of Secova’s ACA Management in ensuring compliance, streamlining processes, and minimizing risks.
Understanding ACA Compliance
The ACA requires applicable large employers (ALEs) to offer health insurance to their full-time employees and their dependents. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in significant penalties. Key aspects of ACA compliance include:
- Offering Coverage: Employers must offer affordable health insurance that provides minimum value to at least 95% of their full-time employees and their dependents.
- Reporting Requirements: Employers must report information about the health insurance coverage they offer to their employees and the IRS using Forms 1094-C and 1095-C.
- Affordability and Minimum Value: The offered health insurance must be affordable, with employee contributions not exceeding a specified percentage of their household income, and must cover at least 60% of the total allowed cost of benefits.
