Selecting the best partner for your employee benefits is about building long-term value for your company and your employees, not just about saving money. Top-performing companies today are abandoning old healthcare tactics in favor of more intelligent, legal solutions, such as fully managed, free Section 125 wellness programs.
Finding the best health plan to assist your business in implementing a wellness program based on Section 125 requires knowing that different suppliers provide varying levels of value. The ideal partner will provide significant employee advantages without the hassle, expense, or disruption that many firms are afraid of.
That’s where BrightPath Advantage stands out.
What Is BrightPath Advantage?
BrightPath Advantage is not your average Section 125 plan. It leverages Section 125 together with a fully managed Preventative Care Management Plan (PCMP) and a Self-Insured Medical Reimbursement Plan (SIMRP) to create one of the most compliant and benefit-rich programs available today.
The program was built for forward-thinking employers who want to provide real value to their teams without increasing payroll expenses or changing existing health coverage. With BrightPath Advantage, companies take a smarter, simpler path toward reducing tax waste, boosting retention, and improving overall team morale.
In just the first year, companies are witnessing quantifiable effects from the program, which already has over 30,000 employees registered.
Why Section 125 Wellness Programs Matter
Employees can use pre-tax money to pay for eligible benefits under a Section 125 wellness plan. In addition to saving them money, this lowers their taxable income and lowers payroll taxes for employers.
But when bundled with PCMP and SIMRP, like with BrightPath Advantage, the benefits go much further:
- Employers save an average of $680 per employee per year—that’s $68,000 in annual savings for a company with 100 employees.
- Implementation is fast and fully managed, typically rolled out in just 30–45 days.
- Employees receive enhanced wellness and healthcare support without any reduction in take-home pay or any out-of-pocket costs.
This integrated structure is what separates BrightPath from general providers—and why it’s quickly becoming one of the best health plan agencies for businesses seeking a better benefits solution.

Choosing the Right Plan Partner
When evaluating wellness plan providers or looking for the best health plan agency to administer a Section 125 wellness plan, it’s important to look for:
- Integrated structure: Does the plan go beyond Section 125 and include a PCMP and SIMRP?
- Compliance support: Is the provider fully managing all regulatory requirements?
- Cost structure: Are there upfront fees, or is it truly no cost to the employer?
- Employee value: Are the benefits real, meaningful, and easy for employees to use?
- Time to implementation: Will the rollout take months, or can you be live within 30–45 days?
BrightPath Advantage checks every box—and that’s why more employers are choosing this smarter path forward.
