Frequently asked questions

Why are employers moving away from traditional group health plans for ICHRA?

Traditional group health plans expose employers to unpredictable renewal increases, rising per-employee costs, and little control over long-term healthcare spend. Today, the total family premium for standard group coverage costs as much as $26,9931 per year. And those premiums rise ~11%2 every year due to claims history and market inflation, no matter how the business is performing.
ICHRA (Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement) offers a different approach. Instead of sponsoring a group plan, employers set a fixed monthly contribution. Employees use it to purchase their own health insurance.
The payoff: Costs become predictable and flexibility improves. That way, employers avoid the financial volatility built into traditional group plans.

How does Lucie help employees make better insurance decisions under ICHRA?

Lucie’s tools help employees narrow options into a few best-fit choices. So they’ll see true annual costs, not just premiums. This helps employees make consistent, well-informed decisions. It also improves ROI on every benefits dollar.

Does Lucie replace our broker or benefits partners?

Nope. Lucie works with brokers to advise employers and ensure compliance. By providing employees a clear, self-guided experience, Lucie cuts out repetitive questions. That way brokers spend less time on admin and more time on high-impact guidance. Like it should be.
