We're a SaaS company delivering seamless defined contribution benefits with heart. Jack sought additional student loans to pay for the twins.
Take Command was born about the same time our founder Jack and his wife Brittany were surprised with a twin pregnancy–a huge blessing but an even bigger surprise. Jack and Brittany had just quit their jobs and moved across country so Jack could start graduate school at the Wharton School of Business. He spoke with doctors, hospital administrators, and insurance experts but was shocked to learn tha

Identifying an ICHRA opportunity is only the first step. Benefits consultants also need a practical way to evaluate it, model the options, and bring the client a clear recommendation.
That’s why Take Command created Partner Hub.
Available to members of Take Command’s Preferred Benefits Consultant Program, Partner Hub helps consultants create and explore ICHRA designs, assess potential savings, and compare contribution strategies for their clients.
The goal is simple: help benefits consultants move from identifying a possible ICHRA opportunity to presenting a client-ready design with greater speed and confidence.
Preferred Benefits Consultants also receive specialized training, ICHRA insights, sales resources, early access to new capabilities, and support from Take Command’s team throughout the evaluation and implementation process.
Not yet part of the program? You can still upload a client census and receive a custom ICHRA design within 48 business hours.

Clients are asking harder questions about benefits.
💸 How do we manage rising costs?
🍎 How do we offer more choice? 🍊
🌎 How do we design benefits for a workforce that is distributed, mobile, and harder to serve with one traditional group plan?
That is where brokers and Benefits Consultants have an opportunity to lead.
One of the biggest takeaways from Benefits Without Boundaries is that flexibility is not just a benefits trend. It is becoming a strategy conversation. 🚀
The shift toward defined contribution benefits changes the role of the advisor. Instead of only comparing group plan options, brokers are helping clients think through cost predictability, employee choice, market fit, and the support employees need when choosing coverage.
That is a higher-value conversation.
Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangements (ICHRAs) are one model employers are evaluating as they look for more flexible ways to offer health benefits.
The opportunity is to help clients understand when the model makes sense, how to design it well, and how to support employees through the change. 🙋
If your clients are asking about flexibility, choice, and cost control, this is a conversation worth leading.

👹 One-size-fits-all benefits are getting harder to defend.
Today’s workforce is distributed, multi-generational, mobile, and asking for more flexibility in how they access healthcare.
📚 New research from 1,000 employees shows a widening gap between what employees expect from their benefits and what many employers are offering.
So how should HR and benefits leaders respond?
Join Take Command, Oscar Health, and an independent analyst from KFF on June 18 for a candid conversation on designing benefits for flexibility and turning research into actionable strategy.
Speakers include Take Command CEO Jack Hooper, Andrew Reeves from Oscar Health, Matt McGough from KFF, and moderator Lynn Gresham from Employee Benefit News.

Big news for brokers advising ICHRA clients around Catastrophic Plans!
CMS just finalized ACA marketplace rules for 2027, and one change deserves more attention: expanded access to catastrophic health plans.
These plans have existed since the ACA began, but access has historically been limited to adults under 30 or people who qualify for certain exemptions. Starting in 2027, CMS is expanding hardship exemption eligibility, giving more consumers a pathway to enroll in catastrophic coverage.
What that means for your clients:
— Lower premiums than many bronze, silver, or gold plans
— Still no premium tax credits
— Higher deductibles and out-of-pocket costs
— More need for employee education during plan selection
This is where your advisory role matters.
Some employees will be drawn to the lower premium without understanding the full trade-off. For healthier employees, HSA users, or people mainly looking for protection from major medical costs, catastrophic coverage may be worth considering. For others, it may not be the right fit.
Take Command is working with carrier partners to bring the full lineup of off-exchange catastrophic plans into the 2027 experience.
Jack breaks it down in under 3 minutes. Worth watching before renewal season hits.
