Compliance

ICHRA has rules. We keep you inside them.

A defined-contribution benefit comes with real obligations. ICHRALY generates the documents and runs the checks, and CareTeam supports you through every filing.

The compliance stack

Everything a compliant ICHRA needs.

ACA affordability and MEC

Every allowance is tested against ACA affordability and minimum essential coverage before the plan goes live.

ERISA plan documents

The plan document that defines your ICHRA is generated and kept current for you.

Employee notices

The required ICHRA notice goes to every eligible employee on the right timeline.

1094 and 1095 support

The data and instructions you need for ACA reporting, ready at filing time.

Medicare coordination

Guidance for Medicare-eligible employees so their coverage and reimbursement line up correctly.

PCORI fees

We prepare what you need for the annual PCORI fee so it is never a scramble.

Affordability engine

Affordability, checked in real time.

The rules move every year. ICHRALY tests each allowance against the current ACA affordability percentage, which is 9.96 percent for 2026, so the plan you design is a plan you can defend.
