Item # MBMR26 – An Employee Elective, Health and Wellness-Driven, Fully-Insured Indemnity Program that Both Increases Employee Pay and Generates Tax Savings Income for the Employer

 

Employee health management and wellness programs typically come at cost to the employer and can be ineffective in that “unhealthy well” and “chronically ill” employees do not participate at desired levels.

Employees access the program via a user-friendly portal that provides access to a wellness activities menu, health coaches, telemedicine, provider cost and quality information plus Rx price shopping. The pre-tax nature of the insurance premiums combined with a monthly wellness activities dollar credit provided under the insurance policy combine after all program expenses to produce both:

- an increase in pay for (most) employees which is estimated for each employee at time of program participation election (or not),

-an increase in employer income resulting from corporate FICA tax savings                        

The benefits to the employer and employees as documented in a suite of robust management reports can include:

- health management and wellness programs with increased participation levels

- a decrease in the healthcare benefits plan spend
