  • 7 myths about ICHRA health benefits...busted
    Nov 4 2024

    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.

Listen in as we cover the following interview questions:

    • [1:00] “What do you like and dislike about your most recent job?”
    • [2:21] “How do you approach a task that you find challenging?”

    • [3:25] “Can you tell me about your biggest work accomplishment, how you achieved it, and why you're most proud of it?”
    • [3:58] “Can you discuss a time when a client or customer was unhappy with you and how you responded?”
