What is an ICHRA?

An ICHRA is an alternative to traditional health insurance that offers greater flexibility and control for both employers and employees.

  • Provides cost control and savings for the employer
  • Gives flexibility to the employee to choose health insurance more suitable to their needs.
  • Removes the burden of health plan administration

An Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement (ICHRA) is an alternative to traditional group health plans that can save money and offer more options for both an employer and its employees. It allows businesses of any size to make tax-free contributions reimbursing employees for health insurance premiums and/or medical expenses. An ICHRA may be the perfect choice for your small business’s health insurance needs.

Cost Control & Flexibility – The Secret Ingredients of an ICHRA

For decades, employers have been tasked with making a very difficult decision—determining which health plan will fit the needs of a diverse workforce. A “one-size-fits-all” mindset has left many employees frustrated with the lack of control over their family’s healthcare and expenses.

Employers and employees see higher costs year over year, and sometimes it forces them to consider dropping their benefits. The cost of offering healthcare benefits has left many organizations feeling stuck.

As employers and employees experience their own unique frustrations in a post-COVID landscape, we begin to see the perfect storm unfolding in our modern benefits ecosystem. This is exactly where an ICHRA comes into play asa carefully crafted solution that enables flexibility and cost-control.
