Tired of Spending Too Much Time on ACA?    
 
Since its launch in late 2014, Cast & Crew Open Health has been a major factor in the entertainment industry's approach to healthcare coverage. Now, with the first quarter of 2015 complete, it's an opportune time to stop and reflect on how the Affordable Care Act is affecting industry employers. 

Managing eligibility under the ACA can be a hassle and very time-consuming. Certainly that time would be better off spent on aiding the production in a more productive way. Many employers have become dissatisfied with the amount of time being spent tracking employee hire dates, termination dates and re-hire dates. And, unfortunately, it will not end there. Year-end reporting will soon be here, and breaking down the monthly transactions will not come easily.

Open Health has none of that! It is easy, hands-off and painless. Employers are not expected to track employees or spend time doing data entry. We firmly believe that it is our duty to manage ACA, which frees up employers so they can focus on managing production.  And it's working - not only assisting employers but also employees who are migrating between employer companies. Cast & Crew Open Health truly is a "win-win" for the Industry.

In addition, there is no need to keep up with the ever-changing landscape of the ACA -- Open Health does that for you. Your focus should not be on year-end reporting, at-risk subsidies or bills to repeal the "Cadillac Tax." Your focus should be on production.
