Rethinking Traditional Benefits: Why Section 125 Plans Need an Upgrade
In today’s competitive job market, offering meaningful employee benefits isn’t just a perk—it’s a strategy. While traditional Section 125 cafeteria plans have been around for decades, most fall short of delivering real value. That’s where Harmoni125 comes in.
Harmoni125 is not your typical Section 125 plan. It’s a smarter, modernized solution built for employers who want to do right by their team and their bottom line, without extra costs or complicated implementations.
This plan leverages Section 125 together with a fully managed Preventative Care Management Plan (PCMP) and Self Insured Medical Reimbursement Plan (SIMRP), creating one of the most compliant and benefit-rich health benefit plan coverage options available today.
Let’s explore how Harmoni125 works—and why thousands of employers are making the switch.
What Are Section 125 Cafeteria Plan Benefits?
A traditional Section 125 cafeteria plan allows employees to pay for qualified benefits, like health insurance, on a pre-tax basis. This reduces taxable income, which lowers both the employee’s and employer’s tax liability.
But here’s the problem: standard cafeteria plans are limited in scope and often don’t fully optimize the savings or coverage potential. That’s why Harmoni Care created a better solution.
Introducing Harmoni125: More Than Just a Section 125 Plan
Harmoni125 includes Section 125 features, but takes it further by integrating two powerful components:
- Preventative Care Management Plan (PCMP): Proactive healthcare services that reduce long-term claims and costs.
- Self Insured Medical Reimbursement Plan (SIMRP): Additional, non-insurance medical benefits that enhance coverage without adding premium costs.
By bundling these into one seamless system, Harmoni125 empowers employers to offer advanced health benefit plan coverage with zero disruption and zero out-of-pocket costs.

- Businesses with 100+ W2 employees
