How can you complete the Medicare side of your ICHRA experience?
ICHRA gives employees more control over coverage. Medicare eligibility introduces a different set of questions. Exact Benefits gives participants a connected path to education, individual guidance, enrollment support, and ongoing service.
What is ICHRA health insurance, and why does Medicare need a different path?
An Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement allows an employer to reimburse eligible employees for qualifying individual coverage instead of offering one traditional group health plan.
Most ICHRA experiences are built around individual-market education, quoting, enrollment, and reimbursement. Medicare-eligible participants follow different rules and often need more personal support. Without a defined Medicare workflow, they can be sent to an unrelated call center with little continuity or visibility. Review the IRS overview of Health Reimbursement Arrangements.
