Ways Employers May Help With Health Coverage

A plain-English overview of common paths worth discussing. This page does not determine eligibility, tax treatment, or which structure is right for a business.

Traditional group coverage

Eligible small employers may be able to offer group coverage. SHOP availability and carrier options vary by state and area.

QSEHRA

Certain small employers—generally fewer than 50 full-time employees that do not offer a group health plan—may reimburse qualifying employee health expenses under a QSEHRA, subject to program rules.

CHOICE Arrangement

CHOICE Arrangements (formerly ICHRAs) can allow employers to reimburse qualifying individual coverage expenses. Employers of many sizes may be eligible, but affordability and employee-class rules matter.

Employees purchase individual coverage

Some businesses do not sponsor a formal reimbursement arrangement. Employees may purchase individual coverage on their own, but employer contributions and tax treatment require careful structuring.

Important boundaries

CHOICE and QSEHRA arrangements can affect Marketplace premium-tax-credit eligibility and have employer notice, contribution, class, and coverage requirements. Eden’s Path can discuss health coverage paths; employers should involve qualified tax, payroll, benefits, or legal professionals for plan design and tax/legal questions.
