Mike Dunlap and Christina Crissey will be attending on behalf of Selerix and look forward to connecting with healthcare leaders throughout the summit. If benefits administration, employee communication, or ACA compliance is creating extra work for your team, be sure to stop by and meet them.
Ask the ACA Nerds, is a live Q&A series where our ACA compliance experts answer real questions. No canned slides, no generic FAQs, just direct answers to the compliance challenges you’re facing day to day.
This is an ongoing series, held on the third Wednesday of every month, so there’s always another session on the calendar. Whether you catch every episode or just the one that matches your current headache, you’ll walk away with clear, practical answers.
Meet your ACA Nerds:
Ashley Pope, Director of ACA Services
Kelli Smith, Director of ACA Compliance & Training
Ashley and Kelli have fielded thousands of questions from employers navigating reporting, eligibility, affordability, penalties, and everything in between, and they genuinely love the tricky stuff. This is the rare space where your most specific, real-world compliance question gets a real, human answer, not a boilerplate response.
Have a compliance challenge you’ve been putting off Googling? This is the place to bring it.
Advanced Strategies to Audit-Proof Your ACA Reporting Season
Many organizations have the basics covered—but not every ACA platform provides the tools and support needed to reduce compliance risk, prepare for reporting season, and respond confidently to IRS inquiries. In this session, Kelli will share practical strategies to strengthen your ACA program, improve audit readiness, and evaluate whether your current approach is built for long-term compliance success.
What You’ll Learn:
Build an audit-ready compliance trail before the IRS comes knocking.
Shift from reactive reporting to proactive, year-round ACA compliance monitoring.
Understand the key capabilities that distinguish basic ACA tools from comprehensive compliance solutions.
Learn the questions every employer should ask to ensure their ACA solution can scale with evolving compliance requirements and organizational risk.
You’ll leave with practical, actionable guidance you can apply immediately to strengthen your ACA compliance program and prepare for what’s ahead.
