Don’t Wait & See — Act Now

The Health Care Reform Act includes penalties for “large employers” that do not offer affordable health insurance starting Jan. 1, 2014. Did you know the hours your employees work in 2013 will be used to determine those penalties?

Health Reform Analytics

Eide Bailly’s Employer Health Reform Analytics, allows us to help you quickly and efficiently analyze which choice would make the most sense for your bottom line and your employees.

We utilize a proprietary calculator that clearly shows whether your costs for health insurance will increase or decrease, depending on the number of employees you have, their wages and the future cost of coverage. We can help you determine if it makes more sense to provide coverage for your employees; send them to the Exchange and pay the mandatory fees; or develop a new hybrid plan.
