ICHRA in Simple Terms

Instead of purchasing insurance for their employees, employers reimburse their employees for the insurance they purchase.

Employers determine how much they want to give employees for this benefit

Employees shop for and purchase the insurance plan on the ACA Marketplace

Employees submit qualified purchases for reimbursement

FYI: ICHRA Meets ACA Requirements!

The ACA requires employers with 50 or more employees to offer their staff health insurance. ICHRA can help meet the requirement.

We’ll work with you and your employers to ensure employees get the right amount of coverage to meet this requirement.

We believe ICHRA is really the future of group insurance plans, and we hope you feel the same after taking a look at this comparison.

The best part, employers can use hybrid models to get the best benefits of ICHRA and traditional group policies.
