A New Standard for Small Business Health Benefits

Rising costs and complexity have made traditional group health plans increasingly difficult for smaller employers. ICHRAs flip the model: companies define a monthly tax-free budget, and employees shop for coverage that fits their lives. Until now, adoption has been slowed by administrative hurdles and disconnected systems.

The new integration removes those barriers by placing Thatch directly inside RUN.

"One of the big benefits small businesses have today is the ability to be quick and flexible. Integrating Thatch into RUN gives organizations that power," said Matt Farwell, ADP president, small business, retirement and insurance services.

Employers can now request quotes, enroll, and manage ICHRA benefits through an embedded interface embedded in RUN. Contributions sync automatically with payroll, deductions flow seamlessly, and compliance is handled behind the scenes.

"Our integration with ADP represents a major step forward for small business healthcare access and affordability," said Chris Ellis, CEO and co-founder of Thatch. "Payroll is the operating system for most small businesses. By embedding Thatch directly into ADP's platform, small business owners can quickly and easily offer flexible, affordable health benefits without the administrative burden."
