How zizzl health is different from other ICHRA administrators

Brokers don't hesitate on ICHRA because they doubt the strategy. They hesitate because they've seen what happens when execution creates friction.
Typical ICHRA administrator experience:
You lose visibility
Client communication starts happening around you
The service model feels vague
You end up relaying messages instead of leading strategy
That's not how we operate.
The zizzl health experience:
Employers set defined contribution budgets
Employees choose individual coverage
No employer claims risk exposure
With zizzl health, ICHRA strengthens and supports your book of business.
