Manage Affordable Care Act Compliance with ACA MAX
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires Applicable Large Employers (ALE’s) with 50 or more full time employees to provide health insurance or pay a tax penalty per each full time employee. Companies that are Applicable Large Employers must submit ACA reporting (1094-C and 1095-C forms) to the IRS on a yearly basis and provide 1095-C forms to their employees by January 31st each year.
MaxServices provides services and software that track, manage, and electronically file the various pieces of data that make up ACA compliance. Let us help your company document offers of coverage for ACA compliance, produce 1095-C forms, appeal future penalties, and take care of the numerous, painstaking details that make up this challenging law.

Pay or Play
Regardless of which strategy an employer chooses (Minimum Value Plan, Minimum Essential Coverage, or no plan at all) measuring the impact of ACA is a critical business task. The IncentiMax™ system solution can calculate different cost scenarios by tracking employee hours, implement appropriate "look back" periods, identify personnel as "variable" or "non-variable" employees, record employees' offer, receipt or denial of Minimum Value or Minimum Essential Coverage, and more.
Whether a company opts to "pay or play", ACA MAX software and services help businesses be prepared to minimize fines and ensure compliance. In addition, the solution can be easily paired with our Work Opportunity Tax Credit module to achieve ACA compliance and simultaneously offset some of the associated costs through tax credit capture.
