HRA Council

Great to see HRA Council board members like Libby Hart leading from within and demonstrating the value of continuing education.

Appreciate HRA Council member Leeway quoting from our industry-leading data report. Choosing what we need and want is empowering. ICHRA and QSEHRA give employees choices for health insurance funded by their employers.

Employers, employees, HR heroes... it doesn't have to be this way. Visit www.hracouncil.org and learn more about ICHRA and QSEHRA.

Rocky Mountain High for $100 please, Alex! (Aka: Supporting ICHRA Education in Colorado) The HRA Council was honored to be invited by Connect for Health Colorado, the Colorado state-based exchange, to provide ICHRA education and updates during C4HC’s pre-open enrollment conference for brokers: CoverCO 2024. CoverCO organizers asked us to be creative and engaging, so we worked with members to create a “quiz show” feature for the first half of our morning panel on ICHRA 101+. After the fast-paced quiz show segment, we segued to a live Q&A session, taking questions from nearly a hundred attendees. The second panel featured an insightful conversation about how defined contribution health coverage is bringing changes to the individual and group markets. “What’s next for ICHRA and Beyond!” also had a great turn-out of broker attendees plus a lively Q&A session that addressed questions ranging from which industries are particularly well-suited for ICHRA, to how to help a company with remote workers in multiple states. Thanks to our members and staff for providing top-notch educational resources, and much gratitude to C4HC for inviting us. Learn more about the panels and panelists, below.

Learning about #ICHRA can be fun! Thanks Connect for Health Colorado and Sheryl Briles-Thomson for inviting us to participate in educational panels for Colorado brokers. Kudos to HRA Council members Libby Hart, Andrew R., Eric Allen, Michelle Lee Mead, CLCS, Tom Crennen, Henry von Hagke, and Jared Dodds for joining our Executive Director Robin Paoli

Thanks ECHO, Payments Simplified® – we agree! ICHRA and QSEHRA can be a game-changing win for employers and employees and their families.

This is such an important conversation about employees empowered to choose the health coverage that is best for their families and themselves. Employee satisfaction tends to go up when people are not only allowed to choose, but provided with the guidance and education to make their best choices. ICHRA and QSEHRA are such a win-win across the policy spectrum, for employers as well as employers. As our Executive Director Robin Paoli says in this article: “It’s a way to offer coverage to more diverse employee groups than ever before and set a budget that controls costs for the companies.”

A new initiative in Indiana is a massive step forward in healthcare cost transparency. A new comprehensive database will allow consumers to see and compare prices across multiple health systems. https://bit.ly/4eJqWxP via States Newsroom #Healthcare #HealthInsurance #HealthData
