Revolutionary Shift in Employee Benefits
In a significant move announced on January 29, 2025, eHealth (Nasdaq: EHTH) launched its innovative Iris platform, leveraging Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Accounts (ICHRA) to transform how employers provide health benefits [1]. The platform represents a departure from traditional group coverage models, allowing employers to specify fixed monthly contributions while enabling employees to select personalized health plans from various insurance providers [1].
