Give employers more ways to say yes

Traditional group health coverage does not fit every workforce, every geography, or every budget.

CHOICE Arrangement (ICHRA) gives brokers, benefits organizations, payroll providers, and strategic partners another way to help employers structure health benefits around individual coverage.

Lirvion provides the administrative platform behind that offering — so you can expand what you bring to clients without building the infrastructure yourself.

Infographic titled "One employer. Two paths." compares Traditional Group with Choice/ICHRA benefits options, suggesting when discussions should start.

One benefits strategy will not fit every employer

Employers come to the table with different pressures. Some are facing aggressive renewals. Some manage distributed or multi-state teams. Some want more predictable benefit spending. Others are simply looking for an alternative to a traditional group plan.

Traditional Group Coverage

Still works well for many employers.

CHOICE / ICHRA Arrangement

Creates another option built around individual health coverage and a defined employer allowance.

The Opportunity

Help more employers find a benefits structure that matches their workforce instead of forcing every client into the same model.

A stronger benefits offering gives you another path when the standard answer no longer fits.

Expand the offering without building the administration

Adding ICHRA to a benefits practice is not just a sales decision. There is eligibility to manage. Employee classes to define. Enrollment to support. Coverage to verify. Premium activity to track. Documents, notices, reporting, and plan-year changes to coordinate.

Lirvion gives partners an administrative foundation designed around that work.

You bring the employer relationship. Lirvion helps support the infrastructure behind the program.

Keep the client when the group plan stops working

A difficult renewal should not automatically become a lost account. When traditional coverage becomes harder to justify, brokers need another strategy they can evaluate with the employer. A CHOICE Arrangement (ICHRA) can create that additional path.

Add benefits capability without becoming the benefits administrator

Payroll, HR, and PEO organizations already sit close to the employer. That proximity creates an opportunity to expand the relationship without taking on every administrative responsibility internally. Lirvion can support the ICHRA administrative layer while partners remain focused on the services they already provide.

  • Extend the Employer OfferingIntroduce another benefits pathway when clients ask for more flexibility.

  • Keep Workforce Data RelevantSupport administrative workflows around employee eligibility, classes, and status changes.

  • Create a More Connected ExperienceBring benefits administration closer to the systems employers already use.

  • Grow Without Building From ScratchAdd capability without recreating an ICHRA platform internally.

More capability can mean more market

Agencies, benefit firms, and strategic partners can use ICHRA to reach employers that may not fit the traditional group-benefits model. That can include:

Multi-State Employers

Organizations managing employees across markets with different carrier and premium conditions.

Employers Facing Renewal Pressure

Groups looking for a different way to structure health benefit spending.

Growing Employers

Companies whose workforce complexity is starting to outgrow a one-size-fits-all benefits strategy.

Employers Considering ICHRA for the First Time

Organizations that need education, implementation support, and ongoing administration.

This is more than another product on the shelf

A CHOICE Arrangement (ICHRA) offering can expand the value you bring to an employer relationship across multiple stages:

  • 01

    Strategy

    Help employers evaluate whether individual coverage fits their workforce and budget.

  • 02

    Enrollment

    Support employees as they move toward individual coverage.

  • 03

    Administration

    Manage eligibility, employee classes, coverage verification, and plan-year changes.

  • 04

    Premium Visibility

    Track premium-related activity and support reconciliation.

  • 05

    Ongoing Administration

    Keep the program organized after launch instead of treating implementation as the finish line.

The market is learning a new name. The opportunity is already familiar

CMS is now using CHOICE Arrangement terminology in employer-facing guidance for the benefit model historically known as ICHRA. That means employers and brokers are increasingly going to encounter both terms.

For partners, the practical takeaway is simple: employers may encounter both ICHRA and CHOICE Arrangement terminology when discussing the same individual-coverage benefits model.

The terminology may evolve. The employer need is already here.

handshake

Employer and employee

  • Employer Administration — Support the employer across eligibility, classes, documentation, and plan-year changes.

  • Employee Experience — Help employees move through enrollment and coverage-related workflows.

Premium and partner

  • Premium Administration — Maintain visibility into premium activity, payment status, and reconciliation.

  • Broker & Partner Support — Create a structured platform experience around the employer relationship.

The result is a broader benefits capability without the burden of recreating the administrative foundation internally.

Know the signals

Not every employer is an ICHRA fit. But some conversations should immediately trigger a closer look.

Five speech bubbles with quotes: "Our renewal is getting hard to defend," "We have employees across too many states," "We need more control over benefit spending," "Our workforce does not fit one group plan well," "We want another option." Each is followed by a suggestion text below.

Do not sell ICHRA as an acronym

Sell the problem it solves. Employers do not wake up asking for a new benefits acronym.

That is where the conversation starts. ICHRA and CHOICE Arrangement are the structure behind the answer.

Add the offering once. Use it across more employer conversations

A partner should not have to reinvent the process every time a new employer becomes interested.

Lirvion provides a repeatable administrative framework that can support the employer from initial setup through ongoing plan-year administration.

That gives partners a stronger foundation for growth — one employer relationship at a time.
