ICHRA (Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement)
Ambetter Health Solutions, Centene Corporation's off-exchange marketplace business offerings, delivers individual health insurance plans that are compatible with Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangements (ICHRAs).

Eligible members across participating states can take advantage of the My Health Pays® program, which rewards healthy behaviors such as eating well, staying active and leading a healthy lifestyle. In 2026, members may earn up to $500 in rewards (amounts vary by state) that can be used toward health-related expenses like premiums, copays and deductibles, or, in some states, everyday essentials such as utilities, rent, transportation and more. The program also offers seasonal guidance to help members set and achieve personal health goals at their own pace. Reward eligibility, usage and maximum amounts vary by state and plan.

Virtual 24/7 Care
Virtual 24/7 Care offers members a licensed provider via telehealth for members to access care for illnesses such as flu, skin conditions, ear infections, fever and respiratory infections – all from the comfort of their home.
