ICHRA in Plain English

No jargon. Here's exactly how it works.

01

Individual Coverage HRA

ICHRA is a type of Health Reimbursement Arrangement that lets employers give employees a defined monthly dollar amount to buy their own individual health insurance.

02

Tax-Free for Everyone

Employer contributions are tax-deductible. Employees receive the allowance tax-free. No payroll taxes on either side.

03

You Set the Budget

Choose different allowance amounts for different employee classes (full-time vs. part-time, salaried vs. hourly, geographic location, etc.).

How ICHRA Reduces Benefit Costs

Three structural inefficiencies in traditional group plans — and how ICHRA removes each one.

01

Eliminate Group Plan Administrative Overhead

Traditional group plans carry substantial administrative fees. ICHRA replaces that with a flat $45/employee/month Enough! Health admin fee.

02

End Adverse Selection Pooling

Group plans pool all employees together — your healthy 28-year-olds subsidize the high-cost claims of others. ICHRA puts employees on individual risk pools appropriate to their own health profile.

03

Replace Commercial Network Pricing

Employees who choose Enough! Health Insurance individual plans access self-pay rates through the Care Approved Card — transparent and published upfront.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ICHRA ACA compliant?+

Yes. ICHRA is authorized under federal law and is ACA-compliant. Employees who receive ICHRA funds and use them to purchase ACA-qualifying individual coverage satisfy the employer mandate for applicable large employers (ALEs).

What happens to unused allowance?+

Unused monthly ICHRA funds can be carried over (you set the carryover policy) or forfeited at year end. Enough! Health recommends allowing unused funds stay in their Individual Premium Reserve.

Can I offer different amounts to different employees?+

Yes. ICHRA allows different allowance amounts for different 'classes' of employees — full-time vs. part-time, hourly vs. salaried, geographic location, and more.

What if an employee doesn't buy insurance?+

Employees must maintain qualifying individual coverage to use ICHRA funds tax-free. Enough! Health's enrollment system confirms coverage before reimbursing.

How long does implementation take?+

Three weeks from signed agreement to employee enrollment. Most of that time is preparing plan documents and employee communications.

Enough! Health is not a retirement account, investment vehicle, or brokerage product. The Individual Premium Reserve is a health plan feature, not a securities product.
