Key to these savings is the ability to declare medical expenses as a business expense rather than a personal deduction.  Learn more

FlexSystem enables employees to pay for eligible expenses on a pre-tax basis – an instant savings of nearly 30% for the employee.  Learn more


AgriPlan

AGRIPLAN is based on Section 105 of the Internal Revenue Code. Under Section 105, a self-employed individual who employs a spouse in the business can become eligible for a medical reimbursement package. AgriPlan medical reimbursement plans save substantial tax dollars annually by allowing small business owners to deduct 100 percent of their family health insurance premiums and out-of-pocket medical, vision and dental expenses not covered by insurance as business expenses. AgriPlan helps ensure that you meet IRS requirements, and with small business audits on the rise, a 100% audit guarantee becomes even more valuable. The average savings for this type of plan is over $4,000 a year! Savings have risen right along with the rising cost of health care.

FLEXSYSTEM is an IRS Code Section 125 Cafeteria Plan geared toward group employers. FlexSystem enables employees to pay for eligible expenses on a pre-tax basis – an instant savings of nearly 30% for the employee. In many instances the plan actually becomes a revenue-generating center for the employer. Benefits costs are controlled without restricting choices, and you pay less Social Security tax on every dollar of employee participation.  FlexSystem also allows the employer to fund the account for each employee should they wish with no tax ramifications upon the employee or the employer.

How does it work? After an easy set-up, employees place funds in a pre-determined benefit accounts through salary reduction. When a qualified expense is incurred (medical or dependent expense), the employee submits a request and receives reimbursements. With a debit card for OOP medical expenses, on-line administration and submission of requests for reimbursement, daily check processing, and direct deposit, FlexSystem provides the industry’s fastest turnaround of requests.
