Straight answers

Sounds too good to be true?

Is this legal?

Yes. It's a tax-qualified plan with a wellness focus, built on IRS Section 125 (cafeteria plans), Sections 105, 106 and 213(d), and the Affordable Care Act's wellness rules.

Can we keep our current medical plan?

Yes. The program actually requires that you offer one. You don't have to replace it.

What does it cost the business?

Nothing out of pocket. The program pays for itself from the payroll tax savings.

What can employees use the benefit for?

Qualified coverage such as dental, vision, life, disability, cancer, accident and critical illness insurance, plus monthly wellness coaching.

Who qualifies?

If a business runs payroll, it can likely qualify. A short call is the fastest way to know for sure.
