Take Command Review 2026: ICHRA & QSEHRA Administration
Take Command was doing ICHRA before ICHRA was cool — it calls itself the first end-to-end administrator, and today it's one of the largest. It lets employers reimburse employees tax-free for individual coverage instead of buying a group plan. This is an independent profile from QuoteSweep, which maps the modern commercial insurance landscape. QuoteSweep does not compete with Take Command.
TL;DR: Take Command (takecommandhealth.com) is a pioneering HRA administration platform: employers reimburse employees tax-free for individual health insurance via ICHRA (mid-market/enterprise) or QSEHRA (small business). It's one of the largest administrators (6,000–8,000+ employers) and the only one offering full-service in-house enrollment support. Founded 2014; raised a $25M growth round led by Edison Partners in 2023.
What Take Command is
Take Command is HRA administration software. Rather than a group plan, an employer reimburses employees tax-free for their own individual coverage. It supports both models: QSEHRA for small businesses (1–49), ICHRA for mid-market (50–499) and enterprise (500+, its "Signature Experience"). Its HRA Hub platform — relaunched in 2024 and SOC2-compliant — handles payroll/HRIS integrations, compliance reporting, employee plan-selection tools, and AutoPay. Uniquely, it offers full-service in-house individual enrollment support.
