WinCap has been updated to accommodate the data necessary for generating the Form 1095-C, Employer–Provided Health Insurance Offer and Coverage (employee statement) and Form 1094-C, Transmittal of Employer-Provided Health Insurance Offer and Coverage Information Returns (employer transmittal data). Please check the IRS website for more information regarding important submission dates. https://www.irs.gov/Affordable-Care-Act/Employers The validity of the reported data from WinCap is contingent upon the accuracy of the data. Consequently, we provide clients with these detailed processing specifications to help ensure the efficient documentation of employee reportable data for ACA Employer Reporting Compliance. While we offer multiple procedures, it is the responsibility of the client to analyze the data to be reported based on source and format of the data.

WinCap offers three (3) different methods for updating the data necessary for 1095-C & 1094-C reporting. Options will depend on the modules sites have activated, system setup parameters, and the accuracy of any related data already maintained through WinCap. However, please note the process that is chosen should be used for the duration of the calendar year to avoid confusion and the reporting of any inaccurate health care information.

1.Health Insurance Offerings - determine if site is self-insured, covered by a qualified health plan or has a combination.

a.Please have your System Manager email CCA if this option needs to be

setup/updated in your System Setup.

2.Employee 1095-C Records Maintenance – select a site specific method to update employee 1095-C data.

a. Import Employee Health Care Benefit Costs- Using data extracted from

WinCap or other data sources, the EmpHlth.xls import template (a pre-formatted import template) can be populated and imported into the system to update the employee’s payroll totals on a regular frequency; monthly, quarterly, or annually. The import template allows for the reporting of Employer Share and Employee Share of the premiums, Health Coverage Codes, Employer Safe Harbor Codes, the Minimum Value amounts and full time status. This one import is designed to be used for populating W-2 and 1095c data simultaneously.

b. Mass Update Health Care Costs Using Deductions- The Mass Update Employee Health Cost routine allows for the update of employee pay totals by using the employee deduction record. You may select the employee deduction codes individually or use the “where clause” at the bottom to query on multiple deductions. Employees with these deductions will be selected for update. The “Calendar Year” and “Month” are required fields.

c. Mass Update Health Care Costs Using Benefits- When using the unique

employee benefit record, to provide the coverage options, employee contribution, employer contribution, and insurance status, Employer Share and Employee Share of the premiums, Health Coverage Codes, Employer Safe Harbor Codes and the Minimum Value amounts for W-2 and 1095c reporting, there are important fields with in the Employee Benefits module that need to be maintained for accurate reporting. This process is to run monthly for 1095c, Part II – Employee Offer and Coverage reporting.

For detailed information regarding the methods described above please reference Wincap’s document Affordable Health Care Act – ACA Reporting. http://www.wincap.com/uploads/PRHR%20Training/1440694663_QS%20guide%20for%20ACA%20reporting.doc After running one of the above routines the Employee Benefit/IRS Form 1095 Tab will be updated.

WinCap or other data sources, the EmpHltD.xls import template (a pre-formatted import template) MUST be populated and imported into the system to update the employee’s 1095-C form with the employee and their covered dependents. Once imported the data can then be edited in mass by using the Mass Update Employee Dependent Health Care Costs form.

b.Mass Update Employee Dependent Health Care Costs- Utilize the mass update form to update the months of health coverage for dependents when using the unique employee dependent off payroll benefit record.

After running one of the above routines the Employee Benefit/IRS Form 1095 Tab will be updated with the dependent monthly enrollment status. At the end of the calendar year each month of the year should be populated with the appropriate information as shown in the example below.

4.Data Validation Reports - Employee Health Care Costs Report and Employee

This tab displays what will generate on the employee’s Form 1095-C as well as the full-time indicator for the 1094-C submission. An employee’s monthly 1095-C values can be edited individually or via the “Enter values for “All 12 Months” option which will allow the employee’s 1095-C record to be updated with common values for all twelve (12) reporting months.

Once the status has been updated from “Processing” to “Accepted”, “Accepted with Errors” or “Rejected”, the transmission file will need to be downloaded and saved. Select the “Download” icon and save the Transmission Response file somewhere easily accessible from within WinCap. You may also print a copy of any errors. IMPORTANT: If the transmission file has Errors, all errors should be addressed and then the ACA Form 1094-C/1095-C Export for Electronic Submission created as transmission type correction for submittal to the IRS. If the transmission file was Rejected all errors should be addressed and then the ACA Form 1094-C/1095-C Export for Electronic Submission created as transmission type replacement for submittal to the IRS. See the 1094-C/1095-C Corrections steps 12a, 12b and 12c.
