An ICHRA is the next generation of employer-sponsored health care coverage. For the first time, employers of any size can make contributions to employees for major medical and Medicare premiums on a tax-advantaged basis with no caps on the reimbursement amount.
If your organization is looking to eliminate the erratic renewal cost increases associated with group health insurance, an ICHRA can help more accurately predict and define the expense of employee health care.
How It Works
Phase 1: Plan Design Phase
Your organization defines contribution limits and employee eligibility requirements aligned with their culture and budget.
Phase 2: Education & Enrollment Phase
Employees select a qualified individual health insurance or Medicare insurance policy specific to their personal needs.
Phase 3: Administration Phase
Employees are reimbursed for their premium expenses in the amount determined by your plan design.
