Unlocking the Power of ICHRA for Smarter Employee Benefits
Introducing SHAPE

One strategy. One system. OneAdvocate.
Smarter Health Benefits
Reshaping Retirement
SHAPE Your Financial Wellness
We start with the biggest opportunity—health insurance—and use those savings to build a comprehensive financial strategy for your people.
How SHAPE works:
✓ Transition from group health to ICHRA-based individual coverage
✓ Give employees more choice, better access, and localized plans
✓ Save $4,000–$5,000 per employee per year, on average
✓ Reallocate savings into 401(k), HSA, and personal financial planning
✓ Provide each employee with a customized path to financial wellness
We then top it all off with seamless execution through our payroll system.
We don’t just improve your benefits, we reshape them.

Traditional Group Health Insurance is costing you more than just money. It’s costing you control, flexibility and employee satisfaction.

Health Insurance Destroys your 401(k)
When healthcare eats up your budget, your 401(k) plan takes the hit—and your workforce feels it.
✓ Employer matches are reduced or eliminated
✓ Employees underfund or delay retirement savings
✓ Your benefits package becomes less competitive
✓ Financial stress affects retention and productivity
Short-term cost pressure shouldn’t derail long-term goals.
The Problem? Outdated Solutions
Traditional group health plans are overpriced, outdated, and increasingly unsustainable.
✓ Premiums keep rising unpredictably
✓ Employees are frustrated with limited plan options
✓ Group models concentrate claims risk and inflate costs
✓ Budget constraints force painful trade-offs
You deserve more control—and your employees deserve better options.

Our Partners
“ICHRAs are experiencing rapid growth in the U.S., driven by their flexibility, potential cost savings, and ability to expand health coverage options,” said Jim Mrowka, COO of Priority’s Ambient business unit, in a March 2025 press release via Business Wire. “Of particular note, ICHRAs allow many small- and medium-size businesses to offer health benefits to their employees for the first time: 83% of new ICHRA adopters previously offered no health insurance.”
