NEW YORK — June 5, 2026 — Zorro, a next-generation benefits administration platform using advanced technology and big data to transform how America’s workers plan, pay and save for healthcare, today announced a strategic partnership with C2 Solutions, one of the nation's leading benefit consulting partnerships. Under this new agreement, Zorro has been named a preferred vendor for Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangements (ICHRA), providing C2 Solutions’ member firms and their clients with access to an end-to-end, AI-powered health benefits experience.
Together, Zorro and C2 Solutions will offer a streamlined approach to health benefits that replaces one-size-fits-all group plans with personalized ICHRA solutions, providing employers with long-term budget predictability and employees with greater control over their coverage.
With traditional health insurance costs climbing at an unsustainable rate, employers are increasingly migrating toward flexible alternatives like ICHRA. Since 2020, adoption has surged by over 1,000%, offering a tax-advantaged way for businesses to fund personalized coverage that meets employees' specific needs. This momentum is rapidly expanding into the large employer market, which saw 34% YoY growth in 2025 according to the HRA Council. Benefits brokers and consultants are leaning into this shift: Zorro’s 2026 Broker ICHRA Survey Report revealed that nearly half of all brokers now actively sell ICHRA, with 93% predicting significant market expansion over the next five years.
"We believe the broker lives at the nexus of the employer-ICHRA platform relationship, and our goal is to position our broker partners as indispensable in supporting employers and employees alike," said Guy Ezekiel, CEO of Zorro. "We do that by offering an ICHRA solution that bridges the gap between sophisticated technology and high-touch service. By partnering with C2 Solutions, we are putting powerful tools — like our real-time quoting engine and AI-driven decision support — into the hands of the industry’s top consultants to help them offer personalized benefits to their clients at scale.”
The partnership provides C2 member firms with exclusive access to Zorro’s suite of proprietary tools, including:
- Interactive Quoting & Modeling: A real-time tool that allows brokers to work alongside the Zorro team to model plan design and contribution levels, showing instant savings comparisons between current group plans and ICHRA options.
- AI-Driven Decision Support: An employee-facing interface that helps individuals navigate their available plans by analyzing their doctor preferences, prescriptions, risk appetite, and expected usage. During 2026 open enrollment, 84% of employees on the Zorro platform successfully selected plans without needing live assistance.
- Simplified Payment Solution: A seamless payment process where employers provide one monthly payment to Zorro, which is then distributed to individual carriers via virtual debit cards or ACH, mimicking the simplicity of a traditional group health experience.
“Our mission at C2 Solutions is to provide our member firms with innovative, high-impact solutions that help address their clients’ most complex challenges,” said Kristen Boyd, Executive Director of C2 Solutions. “Zorro’s broker-centric philosophy, strong service model, and operational responsiveness make them a valuable addition to our preferred ICHRA partner panel. Their ability to deliver rapid turnaround times, exceed service expectations, and provide meaningful employer insights gives our firms another strong option to support clients evaluating ICHRA strategies.”
As part of this partnership, Zorro will serve as a preferred ICHRA vendor for all C2 Solutions member firms. These industry-leading independent benefit firms include:
- Conner Strong & Buckelew
- Cross Insurance
- Holmes Murphy
- M3 Insurance
- Scott Insurance
- Sterling Seacrest Pritchard
