Section 125 Cafeteria Plans with Hospital Indemnity Insurance
Encompassing Health is a Section 125 cafeteria plan with fully insured hospital indemnity coverage that helps you reduce payroll taxes while providing valuable supplemental health benefits to employees. This IRS-compliant program prioritizes preventive care and does not disrupt or replace major medical plans—it's purely an enhancement to your current employee benefits package.
No out-of-pocket cost for employers or employees. Our Section 125 plan addresses employee recruitment, retention, and revenue concerns by providing pre-tax healthcare benefits that increase employee satisfaction and significantly reduce your employer payroll tax burden.

Your savings on this program will be immediate when you run your first updated payroll. The money never leaves your bank account.
Let's say you're a franchisee with 225 employees between all your locations and you pay bi-weekly. Of those 225 employees about 80% will sign up - 180. Your yearly savings per employee is about $580+/-. So, let's do the math.
180 Employees * $580/year / 26 Pay Periods = $4000
That's $4000 PER PAYROLL, 26 times a year. Immediate savings. The payroll you ran last week? It can be $4000 lower next time.
