The truth hurts: nearly one-third of small businesses are forced to drop employee health benefits each year due to rising costs.

What's clear: the status quo is unsustainable. But sometimes it's hard to conceive of what a different, budget-friendly future could be like.

That's why we built our newest innovation: the ICHRA Playground for Small Business.

ICHRA Insider for Small Businesses

Introducing Venteur's ICHRA Playground for Small Business

We designed this interactive tool because the best way to understand ICHRA is to see it in action. It allows employers and their brokers to view available plans and costs in real-time, instantly model different budget scenarios, and see exactly what employees can buy with the allocated funds.

Here's How it Works:

1. Enter Your Employee Data

Enter your employees' ages and zip codes. You'll instantly see the available plans and pricing for each individual. You can even share this link directly with your employees.

2. Explore ICHRA Budget Scenarios

ICHRA is a defined contribution model. You only need to set a budget. Our tool gives you immediate control over that budget. Use the slider and toggle to run different scenarios. You will instantly see the impact on your employees. This includes any potential payroll deduction. For maximum flexibility, you can also create distinct ICHRA budgets for different employee groups or geographies within the platform.

3. Set Up Your ICHRA

Ready to sign up? You can finalize your ICHRA plan right then and there, saving you the typical back-and-forth of administrative work.This is the first iteration of the tool, and wed love your feedback! Tell us what you like and what we can improve. Our goal is simple: to make ICHRA tangible and easy to compare.
