Can Section 125 Tax Savings Be Used for Health Plan Premiums?

Section 125 is often a great way for businesses to offer benefits that promote employees' health without incurring additional wage costs. But how does Life Flex from Life Strong Care provide more than just basic Section 125 plans? Let's examine more closely how Life Flex combines Section 125 tax savings with additional wellness benefits and how they can be used to offset health plan premiums.

What is Section 125 and Why Should Employers Care?

Part of the U.S. tax code, Section 125, allows workers to use pre-tax money to pay for certain benefits. It reduces both the workers' and the company's tax load by lowering taxable income. Many companies offer items such as health insurance premiums, flexible spending accounts (FSAs), and dependent care assistance under Section 125.

Life Flex isn't just another Section 125 plan, though. There is a Section 125 tax savings option as well as a Preventative Care Management Plan (PCMP) and a Specialized Insurance Medical Reimbursement Plan (SIMRP). This makes a benefits program that is legal, automated, and doesn't cost anything. It's meant to help both the health of employees and the bottom line of companies.

How Life Flex Integrates Section 125 with Extra Benefits

Life Flex has a comprehensive strategy, whereas basic Section 125 plans could concentrate on providing tax savings for health plan premiums. Among its many benefits are family coverage, mental health support, Mayo Clinic wellness tools, and access to telehealth services.

So, what is its operation? Here is a breakdown:

Section 125 Tax Savings: More Than Just Premium Payments

With Life Flex, businesses leverage Section 125 tax savings, but the plan’s real strength comes from how it integrates PCMP and SIMRP. By giving workers access to health benefits, employers save on payroll taxes; by doing so, they also provide tax-free savings on costs such as medical reimbursements.

Using the Section 125 tax savings, companies cut roughly $680 per employee each year.
There are no out-of-pocket expenses added to the employer's budget by the plan. In reality, tax savings and fewer medical claims have an instant positive effect on a company's bottom line.

Additionally, Life Flex saves companies an average of $1,400 over three years by lowering healthcare claims. This lowers healthcare expenses and helps businesses run their benefits program more effectively.

Life Flex Employee Benefits: No Impact on Take-Home Pay

Businesses can save money on taxes, but employees can also take advantage of Life Flex without compromising their take-home pay. The purpose of the program is to allow workers to take advantage of perks like wellness tools, mental health treatments, and telemedicine without having their pay affected.

With Life Flex, employees receive:

$0 copay for telehealth services, giving them access to 24/7 medical consultations.
Mental health, addiction counseling, and other well-being services are designed to keep employees mentally healthy and engaged.
Access to Mayo Clinic wellness tools, personalized dashboards, and more, empowering employees to manage their health.

No Change in Take-Home Pay, More Health Benefits

In contrast to certain conventional health plans, Life Flex guarantees that workers keep their entire paycheck—no deduction is made for the wellness benefits they receive. This arrangement makes it easier for workers to afford the healthcare they require, which can boost morale, boost output, and lower absenteeism.
