At a glance

Gravie offers three health benefit solutions:

Gravie Level-Funded, a curated group health plan with fixed payments and claims-surplus upside; Gravie ICHRA, a defined-contribution benefit where employers set a fixed allowance and employees shop the individual market; and Gravie Edge, a hybrid of the two that extends the right fit across a whole workforce, all under one account team.

Level-Funded suits companies that want a shared benefit experience. ICHRA suits workforces that need flexibility and cost certainty. Edge suits employers who want to offer both, coordinated in one place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Level-Funded is a curated group health plan with fixed monthly payments and upside potential based on claims surplus. ICHRA is a defined-contribution benefit where the employer sets a fixed allowance and employees shop for their own individual market plan. Edge combines both into a hybrid offering for employers whose workforce is better served by more than one plan, coordinated under one account management structure.

Gravie Edge is a hybrid benefits solution that blends Level-Funded and ICHRA so an employer can extend the right coverage across their whole workforce. Coverage can be structured in a number of ways — federal HRA rules recognize 11 employee classes, from work status to geographic area — giving employers real flexibility to build coverage around how their business actually runs.

Both ICHRA and Edge are great fits here — the right one depends on how much of the workforce a single model can serve well. ICHRA is a strong choice on its own for distributed or multi-state teams: employees in different markets each get access to the strongest local option, with cost certainty for the employer. Edge is the better fit when part of the workforce is well served by a traditional group plan and part isn’t — it lets an employer match group coverage where it works and use the individual market where it creates a better fit, managing both as one benefits strategy

Level-Funded uses fixed monthly payments with upside potential based on claims surplus. ICHRA gives employers cost control through a fixed allowance per employee. Edge brings both together in one program, so employers can manage cost across the whole workforce while matching coverage to how the business is structured.

Yes. Level-Funded, ICHRA, and Edge are all backed by Gravie Care, and members get consistent support and experience regardless of which underlying plan type they’re on. Gravie Care is easy to reach, with an average call wait time of 30 seconds, and helps members with everything from choosing and enrolling in a plan, to accessing care, to resolving claims and payment issues
