What Does Health Care Reform Mean?The primary goal of PPACA, or health care reform, is to provide quality, affordable health care for all Americans. This chart explains the challenges of the current health care system and what health care reform will mean to businesses and individuals.
Challenge Response Limited AccessMillions of Americans are denied coverage due to pre-existing conditions, lifetime limits and other exclusionary practices instituted by insurance companies.
Poor QualityMany plans do not offer adequate coverage to promote the basic health and well-being of participants.
High CostsMillions of individuals and businesses are unable to afford health care insurance because costs are prohibitively high.

Compliance Complexity Cost
Health Care Reform Means Added Compliance, Complexity and Cost ConcernsHealth care reform is full of new compliance requirements and increased complexities that have been and will continue to be challenging for business owners and employees.

Do you understand how health care reform defines full-time employees?Beginning in 2015, businesses with more than 50 full-time employees (as defined by health care reform) will be required to provide health insurance or be subject to penalties (referred to as the “play or pay” rule). The health care reform definition of a full-time employee is unconventional and can be complicated for some businesses. It is critical that business owners understand this definition and its potential impact, and begin planning now. RESPONSIBILITIES

FINAL STEP
Health care reform guidelines are unconventional. Follow these steps to determine your specific number of full-time employees.
If your total is 50 or more, turn to page 8. If your total is 49 or fewer, turn to page 10.
Is your business in a controlled group? If your business is part of a controlled group, or affiliated service group, data from other companies in the group will need to be factored into the calculations below.
Understand the rules. Full-time employees are defined as employees working, on average, 30 or more hours per week. Individuals who are not considered common law employees, such as partners and sole proprietors, are excluded from the calculation. The calculation period is the prior calendar year. Seasonal employees working full-time hours may be excluded in some circumstances.
Determine the number of full-time employees. For each month in the prior calendar year, determine the number of full-time employees.
Determine the number of full-time equivalent employees. For each month in the prior calendar year, add the hours worked by part-time employees (which may include employees working on a seasonal or temporary basis) and divide by 120 to determine the number of full-time equivalent employees for each month.
Finalize the calculation. Add together the monthly number of full-time employees in Step 3 with the monthly number of full-time equivalent employees in Step 4 and divide by 12 to determine the total number of full-time employees.
