Affordable Care Act

Sage Healthcare Advisory Services

We’re here to help you navigate the myriad healthcare choices, obligations, and compliance considerations, including those of the Affordable Care Act (ACA)—then making them work for your business and your employees.

The first step is understanding the avalanche of data regarding all aspects of healthcare and the ACA provided by the U.S. Government, business solution providers, healthcare providers, and insurance companies. How Sage can help: We can explain all aspects of the increasingly complex healthcare system, boiling down all of the information available to the essentials so that it makes sense.

The next step is recognizing what is pertinent to meet your obligations to your employees, so that you can evaluate options, make informed decisions, and take on your responsibilities. How Sage can help: We can personalize the information by translating what it really means for your business and employees by looking at the specifics of your own workforce.

Finally, it’s time to implement your solution, especially so it conforms to the new ACA regulations while satisfying your employees’ needs. How Sage can help: We can guide you along the way to finding the right components for your business: health plans, private exchanges, HSAs, HRAs, and FSAs.
