Your ACA monitoring
should have started
months ago
The regulations and requirements
for compliance with the Patient
Protection Affordable Care Act
(ACA) are complicated, and
they will continue to change for
the foreseeable future. Keeping
up-to-date on the current
reporting requirements may
feel like an overwhelming task,
and companies who need a
trusted partner to navigate the
changes can turn to Tango.
Tango’s ACA Compliance
Concierge combines powerful
technology with stellar services
to simplify ACA compliance
tracking and status for you. Our
full-service team of compliance
experts has the knowledge and
tools necessary to provide your
company with full visibility into
and control over ACA reporting.

Tango’s solution provides HR teams with a comprehensive, easyto-understand dashboard for monitoring accessibility of benefits
for eligible employees, tracking monthly activities such as offering
or terminating benefits coverage, and forecasting resource trends
and needs. And the Affordability Snapshot view shows currently
calculated affordability for benefits-eligible employees. All allowable
“safe harbor” calculations are built-in, as are analysis tools that
determine your maximum monthly allowable premium along with
the lowest hourly rate threshold to remain affordable.
The monthly Benefits Action Plan keeps you on track by outlining
adds, drops, variable-hour employee eligibility, and COBRA
responsibilities. The dashboards allow for a range of visibility across
the company, including drill-down into designated subsidiaries or
subgroups, and reports can be sent to payroll services or to COBRA
administration to simplify compliance.
Tango’s scalability and breadth extends to expertise in
Measurement and Stability Period analysis. From helping to
determine best “look back” period lengths or tracking employees
within all of your subsidiaries, Tango manages your complex
landscape in easy-to-understand reports and charts.
Data quality is key to ACA success and Tango’s Data Quality
Exception report review occurs with your ACA Compliance
Concierge immediately after the first data feed, providing alerts on
inaccurate data, poor processes in time and attendance systems,
and missing information. Customized tolerances allow you to
determine and adjust your own levels of risk on an ongoing basis.
In addition to purpose-built technology and dashboards, Tango
also provides expertise with an ACA Compliance Concierge to
proactively notify you about changes that might cause issues or to
assist with questions regarding specific compliance situations.
The requirements are overwhelming
What you get
The Affordable Care Act has resulted in a sweeping range
of new rules and regulations that enterprises must comply
with or face significant financial penalties.
Each enterprise has a different set of needs, so a
compliance solution can’t be one-size-fits-all. Tango
works with each organization to tailor a solution
to meet the needs of that specific workforce,
providing detailed services and reports, such as:
• Must Offer Qualifying Plan to 70% (2015)/95% (2016) of
“Full-Time” Workforce to Avoid IRS Penalties (79 FR 8543)
• Must Fairly Determine “Full-Time” Status (Internal
Revenue Code § 4980H-3 and IRS Notice 2012-58)
• Must Offer “Affordable” Coverage to Avoid IRS Penalties
(Internal Revenue Code § 36B(c)(2) (c)(i))
• Must Track Employee Health Benefit Status with Monthly
Granularity and Report to Treasury Annually (by 1/31)
(Internal Revenue Code § 6056)
• Must Respond in a Timely Fashion to IRS Penalty and
Interest Notices (Internal Revenue Code § 6671 et. seq.)
• HHS Rulings and Clarifications Occur Often
and Will Continue

expertise, visibility and control over your employees’ health
benefits status.
