About
Thatch is a comprehensive health benefits platform designed to modernize how companies provide medical coverage to their teams. Unlike traditional group health plans where employers select a single carrier and plan for everyone, Thatch utilizes the Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement (ICHRA) framework. This approach allows employers to define a fixed monthly healthcare budget for their staff. Employees then use these tax-free funds to select individual insurance plans from top national carriers that best fit their personal needs, doctor preferences, and geographic locations. The platform functions as an all-in-one marketplace and administrative hub. After setting a budget, the system facilitates the entire enrollment process, providing employees access to health, dental, and vision insurance. A standout feature is the Thatch Visa debit card, which gives employees a seamless way to spend any remaining budget on qualified medical expenses like prescriptions, therapy, and co-pays. The platform integrates with existing payroll and banking systems, aiming to reduce the administrative burden of healthcare management to a setup process that takes only a few minutes. Thatch is particularly effective for startups, small businesses, and growing enterprises that want to offer competitive, high-quality benefits without the volatility of traditional group plan rate increases. It serves HR managers looking to automate compliance and brokers seeking modern solutions for their clients. By decoupling the employer's budget from the specific plan choice, it removes the "one-size-fits-all" limitation of corporate healthcare, making it an attractive tool for companies with remote or diverse workforces across multiple states. What differentiates Thatch from legacy providers is its heavy emphasis on the employee experience and AI-driven support. The "Ask Thatch" AI assistant provides 24/7 support, allowing users to text photos of receipts for instant compliance checks or ask specific questions about coverage. This replaces the need for complex internal HR inquiries regarding medical benefits. By combining a consumer-grade marketplace with automated financial technology, the tool transforms healthcare from a static corporate expense into a flexible, personalized employee perk.

FAQs
How does the Thatch budget system work?
Employers set a defined monthly tax-free allowance for employees. Team members then use that budget to purchase their own insurance plans and pay for other health-related expenses.
What can employees use the Thatch Visa card for?
The card can be used to pay for qualified medical expenses such as prescriptions, copays, and therapy sessions. This applies to any funds remaining in the budget after insurance premiums are paid.
Does Thatch integrate with my existing payroll?
Yes, Thatch is designed to work out of the box with any payroll provider. Setup typically takes about five minutes by connecting your company bank and payroll accounts.
Can employees keep their current doctors?
Since employees choose their own plans from a wide range of carriers on the Thatch marketplace, they can select a specific plan that their current doctors accept.
Do we have to wait for open enrollment to switch to Thatch?
No, companies can switch at any time of the year. Moving to an ICHRA platform often triggers a Special Enrollment Period, allowing employees to select new plans immediately.
