2027 ICHRA Market Intelligence • Individual vs. small group • Updated as filings develop

The ICHRA Shop™ 2027 Market Intelligence

Know the market.
See what survives the fees.

A rate increase alone does not reveal ICHRA opportunity. Compare individual and small-group trend, then test whether administration, broker and implementation costs consume the advantage.

National snapshot

Geography creates opportunity. Fees determine survival.

These counts recalculate using the fee assumptions in the state explorer below.

Source and status discipline
