Why brokers should own the first conversation

Your clients are already hearing about ICHRAs — from peers, from vendors, from the headlines. The question is no longer whether the topic comes up at renewal. It’s whether you’re the one who raises it.

Employer awareness of Individual Coverage

Health Reimbursement Arrangements has crossed a threshold. More organizations now arrive at renewal with questions, expectations, and opinions already formed. That shift changes what employers need from a benefits advisor.

This guide examines what recent market research reveals about employer awareness, how client expectations are evolving, and why getting ahead of the conversation strengthens the relationship. You’ll also get practical questions for evaluating whether ICHRA belongs in an employer’s broader strategy — not as a universal answer, but as one option worth weighing on its merits.

Inside you’ll learn:

Why employer awareness and interest keep climbing
What today’s employers expect from their benefits advisor
When ICHRA fits — and when it doesn’t
Four questions that lead to a productive client conversation
How early education keeps you in the trusted advisor seat
