ICHRA ADMINISTRATION AND MEDICARE SUPPORT

How can ICHRA administrators
add Medicare support?

Replace the disconnected Medicare referral with a nationwide, one-to-one participant experience that can work alongside your platform, brand, and service model.

ICHRA ADMINISTRATOR SUPPORT

Why is the Medicare handoff part of your ICHRA product experience?

When a participant enters a birth date and the standard quoting journey stops, the next step still reflects on your platform. A generic phone number or outside call-center transfer creates friction at the moment the participant needs more confidence.

Exact gives your organization a defined Medicare support layer. The administrator remains at the center of the ICHRA experience while licensed Medicare specialists handle the conversations that require individual guidance.

ICHRA BENEFITS

What can a Medicare support layer add to an ICHRA platform?

Dedicated booking path

Move participants directly into the right consultation rather than asking them to restart elsewhere.

Co-branded education

Prepare participants before Medicare eligibility becomes an urgent deadline. See the Department of Labor's Individual Coverage HRA model notice.

Phone and video support

Serve participants who need more than a self-service workflow. See how employers can support Medicare-eligible employees through an ICHRA.

Named escalation contacts

Give operations teams a clear path when a participant needs extra help.

Approved outcome reporting

Close the loop without exposing information that should remain private.

National consistency

Replace scattered regional referrals with one Medicare support model.

PLATFORM INTEGRATION

How can the partnership deepen as volume grows?

Start with the smallest useful workflow. Add more integration when the relationship, participant needs, and volume justify it.

Co-branded experience

Embedded scheduling and reporting

Approved white-label or technical integration

FAQs

What do ICHRA administrators ask before choosing a Medicare partner?

Does Exact compete with our ICHRA platform?

No. Exact supports the Medicare portion while your platform retains the administration, enrollment, and reimbursement relationship.

Can the booking experience use our brand?

Custom links, co-branded resources, and other approved formats can be aligned to the partnership model.

Can data flow back to our platform?

A feedback loop can be included. Exact data fields, methods, frequency, and permissions require technical, privacy, and contractual approval.

How are escalations handled?

Each partner should have a named account and escalation contact rather than relying on a general queue.
