Reporting Requirements for Employer Shared Responsibility |
|
In accordance with the ACA Employer Shared Responsibility (“Pay or Play”) provisions, fully insured Applicable Large Employers (ALEs, generally those with at least 50 full-time employees) must report the type of health coverage offered to full-time employees and their dependents. HMAA is once again pleased to support our ALE clients, upon request and at no cost, by providing compiled demographic and coverage data to assist with completion of the required IRS 1095-C forms. Data will be provided in a Microsoft Excel compatible format and available beginning December 15, 2021. To request 2021 data, contact your Account Manager. Please note you must submit a new request each year.
This information is based on HMAA’s review and interpretation, is intended for educational purposes only, and does not represent tax, legal, or compliance advice. For additional information about Employer Shared Responsibility and reporting, visit the IRS website.

Access to Care during the Holidays |
|
The holiday season is often a busy time for urgent care centers and emergency rooms. You can avoid some of the stress of seeking medical care by knowing which facility or service is right for your situation – whether a cough, COVID or flu symptoms, allergic reaction, mental health concerns, or broken bone. Here are a few general guidelines for HMAA members who need medical care but are unable to see their regular doctor.
-
HMAA’s HiDoc® Telemedicine Service enables you to see a physician or therapist online or by phone for non-emergent medical or mental health issues while at work, home, traveling, or when seeing your regular doctor is not convenient. Consultations are available day or night at no out-of-pocket cost. Learn more at hmaa.com/telemedicine.
-
Urgent Care Facilities have doctors and nurses equipped to handle non-life-threatening situations typically treated at your doctor’s office.
-
Emergency Rooms handle trauma and life-threatening situations.
