We track which employers are moving to ICHRA, what it costs, and whether it’s working.
What is ICHRA?
An Individual Coverage HRA is an IRS-defined account that lets employers give employees a tax-free monthly allowance — which employees spend on the individual health insurance plan of their choice, rather than being enrolled in a group plan selected by the employer.
Unlike traditional group benefits, the employer's liability is capped at the allowance amount. Employees get portability and plan choice. Both sides get a tax advantage. The model became legally viable with the final rule effective January 2020, and adoption has grown sharply since.
