Update: The Maturing ICHRA Market

November 12, 2025 | Insights

Earlier this year, Bailey & Company published a report titled Navigating the Future of ICHRA. Since then, we have tracked the rapid evolution of this industry through conversations with ICHRA companies, investors, and participants of every scale in the employee benefits industry. An ecosystem that was populated mostly by companies with less than $10 million in revenue in 2025 will see numerous companies fall in the $15-50 million range in 2026, with at least one player well north of that. In the span of a year, ICHRA has evolved from a buzzy, VC-dominated market into one that demands the attention of growth-oriented PE investors in employer health and technology.

An Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement (ICHRA) is a mechanism created in 2020 that allows employers to offer their employees a fixed, pretax amount to spend on premiums for an individual health plan of their choosing and other qualified expenses – a potentially transformative way for employers to control runaway healthcare costs.
