The ICHRA Shop helps employers and brokers decide whether an ICHRA or CHOICE Arrangement fits, designs the contribution strategy and coordinates the launch. Thatch provides the technology, enrollment experience and administration that put the program into operation.
Using our partner link identifies The ICHRA Shop as the referring advisor so we can stay connected to the implementation and receive appropriate partner credit.
We coordinate closely, but we do different jobs. That separation gives the employer both an independent advisor and an operating platform.
We compare the renewal, workforce and individual market before recommending ICHRA.
We model contributions, classes, affordability, fees and employee impact.
The employer starts through our partner pathway and confirms the platform agreement.
Thatch operates the platform while The ICHRA Shop remains connected as the advisor.
Employers should not select an administrator before understanding the funding strategy, contribution design and employee impact. We bring that independent analysis to the Thatch implementation.
The ICHRA Shop is an independent insurance agency and benefits advisor. We may receive referral compensation, commissions or other compensation when an employer or employee enrolls through a partner relationship, including Thatch. Compensation does not guarantee that Thatch is the right fit for every employer. We evaluate the employer's needs, market, contribution strategy, service requirements and available alternatives before making a recommendation.
