The Senior Care Benefits Problem

What Gets Handled
A caregiver working overnights in a client home never sees the office where the enrollment forms live. The Benefits Admin Software plan puts plan comparison and enrollment on the phone: employees research options, get AI-guided recommendations that balance cost and coverage, and enroll themselves on any shift. Life events run through self-service workflows, and deductions sync to payroll so coverage changes never turn into paycheck disputes for people who cannot walk down the hall to ask.
Senior care rosters are full of employees nobody can classify on hire date: the aide at 25 hours who covers every callout, the PRN nurse who works full-time in flu season. The Software + ACA Compliance plan runs lookback measurement continuously, so eligibility is determined by actual averaged hours instead of guesswork, offers of coverage go out when the law requires them, and Forms 1094-C and 1095-C are produced for you from data the system tracked all year. Take a caregiver who covers 22 hours a week most quarters but picks up enough overnight shifts during a bad flu season to average 33 hours over the measurement period: the system catches that shift and documents the resulting offer, rather than leaving it to whoever happens to be reviewing the schedule that week. Getting it wrong is not free either: for 2026, the Section 4980H(a) penalty for insufficient coverage offers is $3,340 per full-time employee, and the Section 4980H(b) penalty for an inadequate offer is $5,010 per employee.
Turnover in direct care is a structural fact, and every covered departure opens a notice obligation on a federal deadline. Terminations trigger the required election notices automatically, windows are tracked, and coverage end dates flow to carriers without a scheduler or administrator keeping a side spreadsheet. State continuation rules for smaller operations are scoped exactly on your discovery call.
On the Fully Managed plan, a dedicated Managed Benefits Specialist runs open enrollment start to finish, processes the constant flow of new hires and departures, and chases carrier updates, while a Benefits Auditing Analyst checks your data for the errors churn creates: departed aides still on the invoice, elections that never reached the carrier, dependents past eligibility. In an industry where administrators already cover callouts and surveys, benefits should not be the third job.

Questions
Plan setup, online enrollment that works across three shifts, variable-hour ACA eligibility tracking for caregivers and per-diem staff, Forms 1094-C and 1095-C produced for you, life-event changes, carrier updates, and COBRA support at care-industry turnover volume.
IRS rules allow a lookback measurement method: hours are averaged over a defined period, and anyone at 30 or more per week must be offered coverage for the following stability period. The system tracks it continuously, including per-diem and PRN staff whose hours swing week to week.
Yes. Enrollment is online and self-service, so an aide on the night shift compares plans and enrolls from a phone at 3 AM without waiting for an office administrator to be in the building.
No. Your broker keeps advising you and placing your coverage. BEG Managed Benefits handles the administration behind those plans: enrollment, eligibility data, changes, and compliance filings. Most brokers welcome it.
No. There is no co-employment and your plans stay the plans you and your broker chose. BEG Managed Benefits, powered by isolved, administers them while your agency or community stays the employer.
A monthly per-employee cost far below an internal benefits hire. Answer five questions in the estimate form and your monthly range appears on screen; exact pricing is confirmed on your discovery call.
For 2026, the IRS penalty under Section 4980H(a) for not offering coverage to enough full-time employees is $3,340 per full-time employee, and the Section 4980H(b) penalty for an offer that is unaffordable or fails minimum value is $5,010 per affected employee. On a community running three shifts with constant caregiver movement, a handful of missed determinations adds up fast.
State health departments, state boards of nursing, and in many states a separate assisted living licensing agency oversee staffing ratios and caregiver credentialing. That is distinct from ACA, COBRA, and ERISA, which are federal benefits rules enforced by the IRS and DOL. BEG Managed Benefits handles the benefits administration layer only; your licensing and staffing compliance stay with your operations team.
