When it comes to providing health benefits for your employees, small businesses often face challenges like high costs and limited options. That’s where an Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement (ICHRA) comes in. ICHRA allows employers to reimburse their teams for individual health insurance plans and qualified medical expenses, giving employees the freedom to choose coverage that fits their unique needs. For furniture retail owners and HR managers, adopting an ICHRA can mean offering more flexible, cost-effective benefits while empowering employees with greater control over their healthcare.

What is an ICHRA?
An ICHRA lets employers reimburse employees for individual health insurance policies and qualified medical expenses. Employees receive a tax-free monthly allowance to purchase health insurance from the marketplace or private insurers. This insurance model puts healthcare choices directly into the hands of employees, allowing them to select coverage that fits their needs.

Key Benefits of an ICHRA for Employees:
Greater Choice in Coverage
ICHRA allows employees to select individual plans that suit their unique healthcare needs, whether they need specific providers or pharmaceutical coverage, family considerations, or the highest-deductible health plans paired with Health Savings Accounts.
Portable Health Insurance
Employees can keep their coverage if they change jobs, giving them continuity and control over their healthcare.
Potential Cost Savings
Individual plans are sometimes less expensive than group plans, especially for younger or healthier employees.
Simplified Budgeting
A fixed monthly reimbursement helps employees budget for healthcare, allowing them to select plans that align with their allowance.
With ICHRA, employees gain flexibility, control, and financial advantages, making healthcare more accessible and tailored to their needs. As healthcare demands grow, ICHRA offers employees a personalized approach to benefits unavailable in a standard group plan.
