With penalties in the millions, everywhere you turn there is a frenetic energy about the ACA. It feels like stakeholders are realizing how complex the requirements are and just how difficult getting answers to all the nuances is. Heck, with over 14 million words within the ACA itself, it’s no wonder there is confusion! The ACA is clear as mud and people are starting to panic. But it’s not just HR that should be panicking. ACA compliance touches nearly every unit within a company—finance, tax, legal, IT, benefits, all along with HR.

Everyone says it's someone else's mess, but everyone has to help get things clean. It's time to stop pointing fingers and narrow down what you really need from an ACA compliance solution. With ACA reporting deadlines fast approaching, time is running out to find a vendor. If you're still vetting options, here are 7 critical capabilities you'll want to ensure your ACA solution has before moving forward:

1. The ability to aggregate data from disparate systems

2. Assurance that all necessary data is captured

3. Determination of coverage eligibility and monitoring affordability

4. Delivering eligibility alerts and initial notices of coverage

5. Automated population and distribution of all required IRS forms

6. Management of exchange and subsidy notification logs and responses
