Q.- We are replacing our standard group health plan with ICHRA coverage. Do we have to offer COBRA to individuals who lose ICHRA coverage for a COBRA qualifying event?

A.- An ICHRA is a group health plan subject to COBRA. Since the ICHRA group health plan is replacing the prior non-ICHRA group health plan, you should offer qualified beneficiaries the ability to continue their ICHRA coverage under COBRA upon a qualifying event.
