Health Insurance

Help your team with coverage — without a group plan.

QSEHRA and ICHRA are reimbursement arrangements that let you give employees tax-free dollars toward their own individual health insurance, instead of sponsoring a traditional group plan. They’re flexible, predictable, and often a great fit for smaller or distributed teams. We’ll help you figure out which one fits.

You want to help — without the group-plan headache

Traditional group plans come with participation rules, renewals that swing, and a one-size-fits-all design. For a lot of small employers, that’s more than they want to take on just to help their people get covered.

Reimbursement arrangements flip the model: you set a budget, employees pick the plan that fits them, and you reimburse tax-free. We’ll set it up right.

Two ways to fund coverage without a group plan

🏣

ICHRA

The Individual Coverage HRA works for employers of any size. You set reimbursement amounts — and can vary them by employee class — and employees use it toward individual plans they choose themselves.

In both cases, employees shop for their own individual coverage (we can help them do that through MNsure or off-exchange), and you reimburse tax-free. You get budget control; they get to pick the plan and network that fit their life.

QSEHRA or ICHRA?

The short version: QSEHRA is simpler and built for small employers, with IRS-set annual caps on how much you can reimburse. ICHRA has no contribution cap and works at any size, with more flexibility to offer different amounts to different employee groups — but a few more rules to follow. We’ll walk through your headcount, budget, and goals and tell you which one is the cleaner fit.

QSEHRA & ICHRA, answered

QSEHRA is for employers with fewer than 50 employees and has annual reimbursement limits set by the IRS. ICHRA works for any size employer, has no federal cap on contributions, and lets you offer different amounts to different classes of employees. Both reimburse employees tax-free for individual coverage.
Yes. When set up correctly, reimbursements through QSEHRA or ICHRA are free of payroll and income tax for the employee and deductible for the employer. Proper documentation matters, which is part of what we help with.
Yes — that’s the model. Employees enroll in their own individual coverage, and you reimburse them. We can help your employees shop and enroll, including checking MNsure subsidy interactions.
It depends on the arrangement and the amount offered, and the rules differ between QSEHRA and ICHRA. This interaction is one of the trickier parts, so we walk through it carefully for each situation.
Less than you might think. We help you choose the arrangement, set contribution amounts, handle the required notices and documentation, and get your team enrolled.
