Are you choosing an ICHRA administration tool for the Individual Coverage HRA? Wondering how much that ICHRA administration tool costs? With the ICHRA, more employee classes, no contribution minimum or maximums, and no company size limit means that more businesses will be able to enjoy the benefits of HRAs with a lot more flexibility than ICHRA's predecessor. But remember, with more employee classes comes more responsibility. Same goes with larger companies with more employees to administer the benefit to. It sounds like a lot more work, right? That's where our ICHRA administration tools comes in.
ICHRA administration is software designed to alleviate the administrative burden of managing an HRA. In one easy to use platform, it should help you remain compliant, generate the legal paperwork and reporting, ensure your employees' privacy, help your employees enroll in health insurance, and much more. In other words, the right ICHRA administrator will do the heavy lifting for you.
ICHRA administration costs may vary based on vendor and size, but Take Command's platform starts at $20 per employee per month.
Here's what to keep in mind when selecting an ICHRA provider.
There are many rules and regulations surrounding ICHRA and other HRAs, the details of which can change year over year. You shouldn't have to keep track of this; an ICHRA administration tool should have built-in, automatic updates to ensure compliance. ICHRA software should include the following features:
Get peace-of-mind knowing you are taking care of your team and enjoy a quick setup so you can get back to doing what you love—running your business.
If a traditional group plan is being replaced by an ICHRA, it's important to make the transition as smooth and easy as possible for your employees. Change can be hard, but this doesn't have to be! Communicate early and often, and give them the resources for them to choose their own plan stress-free. Our data-driven platform can help your employees search for plans based on their needs, their doctors and their prescriptions.
Employee features should also include:
Whether you're the plan administrator on staff or a benefits consultant helping a client, an ICHRA administration tool should make it easy to manage the ICHRA, track reimbursements, and comply with all reporting requirements.

A good ICHRA administrative tool will give the plan administrator the training and ongoing support needed to keep the ICHRA compliant and running smoothly.
What we recommend is that you choose an ICHRA administrator that has the experience, the technology, and the customer service necessary to help you and your employees get the most out of their ICHRA. In our humble opinion, Take Command checks all the boxes here.
Take Command is the only ICHRA administrator to offer personalized, hands-on enrollment support for employees shopping for a health plan.
We've been updating our platform based on lessons learned from helping hundreds of clients with a different but similar type of HRA, QSEHRA. Both HRAs are aimed at the same thing: offering tax-free benefits and more affordability than traditional group plans and more autonomy in individual plan choices with better healthcare for all. They just cater to slightly different crowds; QSEHRA is better for a small business that doesn't offer a group plan and ICHRA is better for any size company that is looking for a better option than a pricey group plan.
If you choose to work with Take Command's ICHRA administration software, here's what to expect.
