ICHRA: Why your proof of coverage was marked noncompliant and how to fix it

This article is for employees enrolled in an Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement (ICHRA) through Take Command Health’s HRA Hub platform who submitted proof of insurance and received a “noncompliant” status.

Written by Support

Your ICHRA proof of coverage is marked noncompliant when your submitted document does not show an eligible individual health insurance plan (or Medicare), or when required details like name, dates, or plan information are missing or outdated.

Why your ICHRA proof of coverage is marked noncompliant

1. Your plan is not eligible for ICHRA

ICHRA only allows specific types of coverage.

Your submission will be rejected if your plan is:

  • Spouse’s employer group health plan

  • Medicaid (in most cases)

  • TRICARE (non-Medicare qualifying cases)

  • COBRA coverage

  • Short-term health insurance

  • Indemnity or fixed-benefit plans

  • Sharing ministry plans

These are not considered eligible individual coverage under ICHRA rules.


2. Your plan is not ACA-compliant individual coverage

ICHRA requires:

  • Individual major medical (ACA-compliant) insurance OR

  • Medicare Part A and B or Part C OR

  • Other limited qualifying coverage types (e.g., student plans or catastrophic plans if eligible by age/exemption)

If your plan is not individual major medical coverage:

  • ❌ It will be marked noncompliant

  • ❌ You cannot receive tax-free reimbursements


3. Your document is missing required information

Your proof of coverage may be rejected if it does not clearly show:

  • Your full name as a covered individual

  • Insurance carrier and plan name

  • Effective coverage start date

  • Current active coverage status

  • Date of document (must be recent)

If any of these are missing, compliance cannot be verified.


4. Your document is outdated

ICHRA requires proof that reflects active current coverage.

Your submission will be rejected if:

  • The document is older than 30 days

  • The coverage period is not current

  • The plan year does not match your enrollment period


5. Your document includes disqualifying subsidy information

Your proof may be marked noncompliant if it shows:

  • Premium tax credits from the ACA Marketplace

  • Subsidized marketplace pricing that conflicts with ICHRA participation

Employees cannot receive premium tax credits and ICHRA reimbursements at the same time.

What you must submit instead

Acceptable proof of coverage includes:

You must provide documentation that clearly shows:

  • Your name

  • Carrier and plan name

  • Active individual health insurance coverage OR Medicare enrollment

  • Effective date (current and valid)

  • Document date within the last 30 days


Common accepted documents:

  • Insurance carrier monthly bill or statement

  • Marketplace (Healthcare.gov or state exchange) coverage summary

  • Insurance portal screenshot showing active coverage

  • Medicare A + B or Medicare Advantage letter

  • Enrollment confirmation letter from insurer
