Pre-Tax Health Plan: Are You Missing Out on Hidden Savings for Your Employees?

Plan

Most employers want to offer better benefits, but the rising cost of healthcare limits what small and mid-sized businesses can realistically provide. Yet what many companies don’t realize is that a pre tax health plan, when designed correctly, can unlock savings for both the employer and the employee without increasing spending.

This is exactly what Harmoni125, the signature program from Harmoni Care, is built to do. It leverages a section 125 health plan pre tax alongside a Preventative Care Management Plan (PCMP) and a Self Insured Medical Reimbursement Plan (SIMRP), creating a system that is fully compliant, automated, cost-free, and far more benefit-rich than traditional options.

What Is a Pre-Tax Health Plan and Why Employers Overlook Its Value?

A pre-tax health plan allows employees to allocate part of their compensation toward eligible benefits before taxes are applied. For employers, this structure lowers overall cost while improving benefit offerings, making it possible to support teams without increasing budgets.

But when this model is combined with Harmoni125, it becomes something entirely different: a high-impact, zero-cost solution that reduces healthcare expenses, enhances coverage, and improves employee satisfaction, all while keeping administration simple.

Not only does Harmoni125 include Section 125 benefits, but it also integrates PCMP and SIMRP to create one of the most compliant and wellness-driven benefit programs available today.

Are You Missing Hidden Savings That Could Transform Your Benefits?

If you are not using a pre-tax structure supported by PCMP and SIMRP, then yes, your business may be missing out on significant savings and wellness opportunities.

Many employers mistakenly believe:

  • “Better benefits cost more.”
  • “Small businesses can’t afford premium healthcare offerings.”
  • “Employees don’t need family-wide support.”

Harmoni125 challenges these assumptions by creating a program that requires no employer spending, supports dependents, and increases overall company performance.

This is where the section 125 health plan pre tax structure becomes a hidden advantage, unlocking value beyond traditional healthcare.

  • Saved over $88,000
  • Reduced healthcare claims by 8%
  • Increased employee participation in mental health services by 40%
  • Improved retention by 17%
  • Provided $0 copay care for over 200 dependents

All with zero cost to the business.
