Compliance & Regulatory Management

ACA Compliance

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires businesses with 50 or more employees to offer affordable health insurance coverage to all full-time workers—or face significant penalties.

Navigating the ACA’s complex eligibility and affordability criteria can be daunting, with stringent government regulations that demand precise attention to detail.

Why Axcet?

Axcet HR Solutions takes the complexity out of ACA compliance. We handle eligibility calculations, including variable hour tracking for part-timers, and manage all required ACA reporting, such as Forms 1094 and 1095. Our expertise ensures your business meets all ACA requirements efficiently, minimizing the risk of penalties and allowing you to focus on your core operations.

COBRA Administration

The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) mandates that employers with 20 or more employees offer continued health plan coverage after a job loss or other qualifying events.

Managing COBRA compliance can be a complex and time-consuming process, requiring careful recordkeeping and adherence to strict deadlines.

Why Axcet?

Axcet HR Solutions takes the hassle out of COBRA administration. We handle all the required notices, premium collections and enrollee management, ensuring your business remains compliant without the stress.

With Axcet managing the details, you can focus on your core business, confident that your COBRA obligations are in expert hands.

HIPAA Compliance

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) governs the use and protection of patient health information, making compliance crucial for businesses handling sensitive employee data.

Mishandling this information not only creates legal risks but also damages employee trust and your company’s reputation.

Why Axcet?

Axcet HR Solutions ensures your business stays HIPAA compliant by providing comprehensive training for employees who manage protected health information.

We educate your team on HIPAA best practices and the importance of ongoing compliance, equipping you with the tools needed to manage data safely and securely.

ERISA Compliance

The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) governs group health and retirement plans, requiring employers to meet stringent standards in plan management and transparency.

Managing ERISA compliance, especially fiduciary responsibilities, can be legally complex and risky if not handled properly.

Why Axcet?

Axcet’s team ensures your business remains ERISA-compliant by providing expert oversight of your retirement benefits programs. Our highly qualified fiduciary committee regularly monitors your retirement account investments, removing any that fail to meet performance standards, so you can confidently protect your employees' retirement benefits while minimizing legal risks.

Employee Support & Communication

Employee Eligibility and Change Tracking

An essential element of benefits management is determining employee benefits eligibility for new hires and managing status changes, like marriages or children added to families.

When small and mid-size business owners take on this responsibility in-house, someone on staff must manage every change to employees’ status over the past year, as well as pay and reconcile all bills.

Why Axcet?

With Axcet’s employee benefit plans, employers save the cost of paying an employee to handle this tedious job and alleviate the heavy administrative burden it presents. We track every change in status, collect premiums and pay providers.

Axcet adds any new employees to the plan and sets up automatic paycheck deductions for premium payments. If someone leaves a client company, Axcet adjusts the amount owed to the provider.

Then, on an ongoing basis, we balance, reconcile and review employer accounts to ensure accuracy.

When Axcet is at the helm of your employee benefits administration, you never have to worry about missing a premium payment deadline and can rest assured that correct payments are being made for you on time, every time.

Benefit Plan Communications & Education

Misunderstood benefits can lead to frustration, which is why clear communication is essential. Explaining complex insurance coverage is no small task, especially when most employees—and even some employers—don’t “speak benefits.”

Why Axcet?

Axcet HR Solutions ensures your employees understand their benefits package through clear communication tools, one-on-one meetings and side-by-side plan comparisons.

We provide easy-to-understand materials and leverage technology with our state-of-the-art online enrollment system and making the process seamless and accessible 24/7. Our commitment ensures employee engagement, satisfaction and loyalty to your organization.

Employee Claims Assistance

Dealing with denied insurance claims can be frustrating and time-consuming. Employees at Axcet client companies never have to face these challenges alone.

Why Axcet?

When claims are complex or hit roadblocks, Axcet’s knowledgeable employee benefits administration specialists step in as a liaison between your employees and the insurance provider.

We simplify the benefits process by handling communications and resolving issues, often without requiring the employee to interact with the insurer directly.

Through it all, Axcet ensures confidentiality, eases the burden on company leadership and provides clear, timely assistance, so your employees feel supported every step of the way.
