7 myths about ICHRA health benefits...busted

ICHRAs (individual coverage health reimbursement arrangements) are a relatively new type of health plan that allows employers to offer their employees a tax-free allowance to purchase benefits. While ICHRAs are growing in popularity, many businesses are hazy on the details. Unfortunately, myths and misperceptions about ICHRA could lead a business to dismiss a benefits option that may be right for them.  Listen as we debunk:
[2:46] Myth #1: The marketplace has challenges — ICHRA can’t be good insurance.
[4:30] Myth #2: A business with no HR department doesn’t have access to enough resources to set up an ICHRA.
[5:48] Myth #3: It’d be easy for most businesses to administer an ICHRA on their own.
[7:01] Myth #4: Old HRA models didn’t fit the business before; new ones are probably no different.
[8:17] Myth #5: Employees will be overwhelmed by the choices in the insurance marketplace.
[10:25] Myth #6: Employees won’t spend their benefits allowance on health-related expenses.
[12:01] Myth #7: Switching to an ICHRA will be a pain.
