ICYMI - WEBINAR RE-CAP

Offer health insurance benefits to your employees tax-free!

Thank you to all who attended our workshop on June 29th as businesses learned about Peak Health Alliance plans with more savings, cost control, and choice than traditional group plans. If you would like an introduction to our partners at Peak, please let us know!

Peak Health Alliance is introducing a whole new way for businesses of any size to be able to offer health insurance to their employees in 2021! ICHRAs (pronounced ‘ICK-rah’) enable an employer to contribute a set amount to their employee’s health insurance premiums—tax-free! Employers decide the amount they wish to contribute, to full-time or part-time employees, while the employee gets to shop for and choose any individual marketplace plan that fits their and their family’s needs.
