ADP SmartCompliance® Health Compliance (often shortened to “ADP Health Compliance”) is a cloud-based module within ADP SmartCompliance designed to help Applicable Large Employers (ALEs) manage Affordable Care Act (ACA) employer responsibilities and reporting. It focuses on (a) ongoing data validation (data hygiene) and compliance visibility during the year, and (b) year-end generation/furnishing/filing of Forms 1094-C/1095-C plus certain state health coverage reporting requirements. ADP states the product identifies data issues on a monthly basis (eligibility, affordability safe harbors, missing fields, FEIN-level compliance status) ahead of IRS and state deadlines.
Vendor-described differentiators include a dashboard that reports employee-level and FEIN-level data by month, integrations with multiple HR/payroll/benefits systems, automated calculations (eligibility, affordability safe harbors, MEC thresholds), and specialist support for notices/penalties and regulatory updates. Note: many of these feature descriptions are vendor-authored; independent validation is limited.
