Now health benefits take care of business.

Employer-sponsored benefits don’t work the way most teams work today. ICHRA changes that. Think of it as the 401(k) of healthcare: employers set a fixed monthly allowance, and their team picks a health plan that actually fits their lives.

Preguntas frecuentes

    • ICHRA son las siglas de Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement (Acuerdo de Reembolso de Cobertura de Salud Individual). Es un nuevo tipo de Acuerdo de Reembolso de Gastos de Salud (HRA) creado en 2020. Es excelente porque permite a las empresas de cualquier tamaño ofrecer reembolsos libres de impuestos a los empleados por las primas del seguro médico y los gastos médicos calificados.

    • En la mayoría de los casos, un empleador trabaja con un tercero (agente o plataforma de administración del ICHRA) para diseñar e implantar en su empresa el ICHRA. Este proceso requiere por lo general que el empleador determine su presupuesto, decida qué empleados pueden y no pueden participar en el ICHRA y establezca cuándo ofrecer a los empleados la nueva solución de beneficios de salud. 

      Una vez puesto en marcha el ICHRA en la empresa, los empleados pueden buscar un plan de seguro individual en el mercado libre y comprar un plan que se adapte a sus necesidades particulares. Después, los empleados solicitarán cada mes a su empleador un reembolso libre de impuestos.

    • Los empleadores de cualquier tamaño pueden ofrecer el ICHRA siempre que tengan al menos un empleado que no sea self-employed o el cónyuge de un self-employed. Si está correctamente configurado, el ICHRA cumplirá el mandato de la Ley de Atención Médica Asequible (ACA) para los Grandes Empleadores Aplicables (ALE). Para determinar si el ICHRA es adecuado para su empresa, eche un vistazo a la normativa oficial del IRS sobre el ICHRA o hable con un profesional en materia de impuestos.

    • Sí. Si está correctamente configurado, el ICHRA satisface el mandato del empleador de la Ley de Atención Médica Asequible (ACA) para Grandes Empleadores Aplicables (ALE). Para determinar si el ICHRA es adecuado para su empresa, eche un vistazo a la normativa oficial del IRS sobre el ICHRA o hable con un profesional en materia de impuestos.

    • Sí y no. He aquí por qué: los empleadores pueden ofrecer un ICHRA a un segmento de empleados y a la vez un plan de grupo tradicional a otro segmento de empleados. Sin embargo, los empleadores no pueden ofrecer a la vez un ICHRA y un plan de grupo tradicional al mismo segmento de empleados. Para determinar las distinciones de clase permitidas, consulte la normativa oficial del ICHRA del IRS o hable con un profesional en materia de impuestos.

    • Históricamente, los HRA se ofrecían como un complemento del seguro de grupo tradicional con ventajas fiscales, para cubrir los gastos médicos calificados no incluidos en el seguro tradicional. Sin embargo, estos HRA no permitían que los reembolsos libres de impuestos se aplicaran a las primas del seguro médico. La nueva normativa estipula que con un ICHRA (así como con un QSEHRA), el empleador puede reembolsar tanto los gastos médicos cualificados como las primas del seguro médico.

    • Hay muchas diferencias entre estos dos tipos de HRA, pero las dos principales son los límites de las aportaciones y el tamaño de la participación. El Acuerdo de Reembolso de Salud para Pequeños Empleadores Calificados (QSEHRA) tiene límites en cuanto a la cantidad que un empleador puede reembolsar a sus empleados, mientras que el ICHRA no tiene limitaciones en cuanto al importe de las aportaciones.

      Además, solo las empresas con menos de 50 empleados pueden ofrecer un QSEHRA, mientras que un ICHRA puede ser ofrecido por una empresa de cualquier tamaño. Para conocer la lista completa de diferencias entre estos dos tipos de HRA, consulte la normativa oficial del IRS o hable con un profesional en materia de impuestos.

    • No. No existen limitaciones.

    • Sí. Si el empleador opta por permitir el reembolso de dichos gastos, los empleados pueden solicitar el reembolso. Durante la fase de configuración del ICHRA, los empleadores tienen la opción de permitir o no que el ICHRA cubra los gastos médicos calificados. Para ver la lista completa de los gastos médicos calificados, consulte la normativa oficial de la ICHRA del IRS o hable con un profesional en materia de impuestos.

    • Si un empleador ofrece un ICHRA a un empleado, este no será elegible para recibir subsidios federales, aunque no decida participar en el ICHRA.

    • No, no es un requisito legal. Dicho esto, se recomienda encarecidamente gestionar un ICHRA a través de un tercero para garantizar el cumplimiento de las normativas del IRS, como la HIPAA. Para saber más sobre el cumplimiento de la ICHRA, consulte la normativa oficial del IRS sobre la ICHRA o hable con un profesional en materia de impuestos.
