At Thatch, our guiding principle has always been to simplify the complexities of health benefits for employers and their teams. As we continue to innovate and support businesses in navigating the evolving healthcare landscape, we’re excited to share how our latest integration supports Allstate Health Solutions and Intuit QuickBooks in making Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangements (ICHRA) more accessible to 1+ million small employers who rely on QuickBooks for payroll.

Integrating with QuickBooks: A win for small businesses

For many small and mid-sized employers, offering comprehensive health benefits has long been a challenging undertaking due to cost constraints, limited HR resources, and administrative burdens. Thatch’s API integration with QuickBooks—a leading payroll provider—has been a game-changer in overcoming these hurdles.

By embedding Thatch’s service directly into QuickBooks’ payroll platform, we enable small businesses to seamlessly access ICHRA offerings. This integration bridges critical touchpoints:

• Simplified administration: Employers can set their health benefits budget within the payroll system they already use, streamlining the quoting experience.

• Improved employee experience: Employees gain the flexibility to choose ACA-compliant health plans tailored to their individual or family needs, enhancing job satisfaction and retention.

• Cost control and flexibility: ICHRA allows businesses to control their health benefit costs with defined contributions while offering employees a variety of plans.

Thatch’s vision: transforming benefits for tomorrow’s workforce

We think this integration with Quickbooks marks a step forward in reshaping the benefits landscape for small and mid-sized businesses across the country.

By building API products that integrate with industry payroll platform leaders like QuickBooks, we can help transform how businesses approach employee health benefits—making them more accessible, customizable, and straightforward.
