Medical | ICHRA

Your medical benefits will continue to be offered through an Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement (ICHRA), giving you the freedom to choose the health insurance plan that best fits your needs and those of your family.

​

Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all traditional group health plan, EDDY provides you with a tax-advantaged allowance to help pay for individual health insurance coverage. You choose the plan that works best for you, and EDDY helps cover the cost up to your available allowance.

​

This approach allows EDDY to continue offering competitive medical benefits while preserving employee choice, giving you the flexibility to select coverage based on your healthcare needs, preferred doctors, and budget.

 

NEW FOR 2027! Your input is important to us, and it helped guide our decision to partner with Thatch as EDDY’s new ICHRA administrator for 2027. We’re excited about this change and the opportunity to offer more ways to make the most of your benefits! In addition to helping pay for individual health insurance premiums, your EDDY-provided allowance can now also be used toward eligible out-of-pocket medical expenses, giving you greater flexibility in how you use your benefits dollars.

Important Medicare Reminder: If you or a covered dependent are age 65 or older, Medicare enrollment is required under this benefit arrangement. If you or a covered dependent turn 65 during the plan year, you will need to make a mid-year coverage election to coordinate your benefits with Medicare.
