Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangements (ICHRA)

Home / ICHRA

Reimagining Employee Health Benefits

Want to get off the traditional health insurance roller coaster? ICHRAs offer a revolutionary approach to employee health benefits, combining the tax advantages of group health with the flexibility and predictability of individual market solutions.

What is an ICHRA?

Think of an ICHRA as your company's own healthcare expense account for employees. Instead of offering a one-size-fits-all group health plan, you provide tax-free reimbursement for individual health insurance premiums and qualified medical expenses. It's like giving each employee their own healthcare allowance to shop for coverage that best fits their needs.
