DALTON, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As group health insurance premiums continue to rise throughout Georgia and the nation, employers large and small are turning to an innovative new solution to lower their costs.
ICHRA (pronounced ICK-rah) stands for Individual Coverage HRA – a federal program first introduced in late 2018. ICHRA helps organizations offer an alternative way to provide health insurance. Many employers are reaping savings in the 10-20% range.
Employers are turning to HRASimple to help them set up and administer their own ICHRA. In addition to financial savings, these organizations are reducing the time and hassle of choosing and managing a traditional group health insurance plan.
