The benefits of ICHRA

ICHRA provides benefits for your employees and your business; from greater flexibility on cost to more freedom to choose, see some of the benefits for yourself:

Cost flexibility
Business owners enjoy greater flexibility on price as compared to traditional group health plans, because with ICHRA, employers set the budget.
Freedom to choose
Rather than forcing employees into a group plan that’s right for the business, ICHRA lets individual employees choose a plan that’s right for them from twenty-two plan options on the Access Health CT individual exchange.
Tax-free contributions
Employer contributions with ICHRA are tax-free, which helps reduce the overall payroll tax load for the business.
Simplified management
Thanks to our BusinessPlus platform, managing your health benefits is made simple so you can focus on your business.
