MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Gravie, one of the nation's fastest growing health benefits innovators, is releasing a new study in partnership with Wakefield Research that highlights a growing interest in Individual Coverage Healthcare Reimbursements Arrangements (ICHRAs) among employers, even though some barriers are prohibiting them from offering this type of solution today.

Key Points:

Before taking the survey, approximately half (49%) of the respondents had not heard of ICHRA, but most showed interest in learning more.
With medical trends increasing, the ability of employers to set a defined contribution towards their employees' health benefits is a major part of the appeal.
While more benefits leaders are giving ICHRA a strong look as a potential new or expanded health benefits solution, many are stretched for time and resources.
Many employers rely heavily on brokers to bring them creative benefits ideas and, now more than ever, employers are seeking new options.
