Can I offer both group insurance and an ICHRA?
No. You cannot offer a traditional group plan and an ICHRA to the same class of employees. However, you can offer different options to different classes.
Who this applies to
It turns on your circumstances, not a general rule: where you are, what is already in place, and the dates involved.
Local context for Statewide Florida
Florida small business owners with 2 to 50 employees can purchase group health insurance that is often more affordable than individual ACA marketplace plans. Florida small group carriers include Florida Blue, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna, Humana, and Ambetter. Plan types include HMO, PPO, POS, and HDHP with HSA. Any business with 2 to 50 full-time equivalent employees can purchase a small group plan. Group plans cannot deny coverage based on pre-existing conditions. The Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement (ICHRA) allows Florida employers to reimburse employees tax-free for individual health insurance premiums instead of offering a traditional group plan.
