Press Release: Gravie Partners with the Pro Football Hall of Fame (HOF) to Provide a New Health Coverage Offering
MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 20, 2020 — Key Benefit Administrators (KBA) in partnership with Hall of Fame Benefits, an affiliate of the Pro Football Hall of Fame (HOF), announced today that it has selected health benefits marketplace, Gravie, to provide health plan options for retired professional football players.
Through the partnership, retired professional football players will have access to Gravie’s marketplace where they can shop for and enroll in individual health plans. Retired players will also have access to Gravie Care – a service that supports members in navigating providers, making sense of bills or claims and navigating the healthcare system with ease.
Not only will the partnership offer health benefit options for retired players, it will also provide a new tax-free solution for employers. Through Gravie, employers can now take advantage of ICHRA health benefits. This approach allows employers to provide tax-free dollars to their employees, which they can in turn use to buy individual health plans through Gravie’s marketplace. With Gravie’s defined contribution approach, employers can set a fixed benefits budget while also giving employees the freedom to choose a plan that best fits their needs.
“We are pleased to be able to play a role in improving the health of former professional football players,” said co-founder and executive chairman of Gravie, Abir Sen. “This partnership will allow retired players to access comprehensive health benefits and value-added services from Gravie.”
Larry Dust, CEO of KBA said, “With insurance premiums increasing for both individuals and companies today, we are excited to add Gravie’s state of the art shopping platform to KBA’s partnership with Hall of Fame Benefits. Providing solutions that impact the fiscal and physical health of the former professional football player is the most important play in our playbook.”
The partnership comes perfectly timed with this fall’s open enrollment period that’s just around the corner.
