ICHRA

An ICHRA offers employers an effective alternative to the traditional way of providing health insurance to employees. Instead of offering a one-size fits all group plan, employers can provide tax-free funding for all — or specific segments of their employees — to purchase health insurance that best meets their particular needs.

A New Option for Employers

Prior to recent government guidance, employers could not meet their Affordable Care Act (ACA) obligations and avoid penalties without sponsoring a traditional group health plan. All this changes for 2020 with the new individual coverage health reimbursement arrangement (ICHRA) option.

By offering an ICHRA you can:

  • Eliminate claim risk and cost unpredictability
  • Reduce the administrative burden of designing and managing a group health plan
  • Empower employees to select from a wide array of portable ACA-governed individual health plans
  • Meet your ACA employer mandate responsibilities
