Providing quality healthcare benefits as a small business owner can often feel like navigating a maze of rising costs, confusing regulations, and complex plan structures. But what if there was a clearer, smarter route to offering real employee benefits—without increasing your budget or complicating your operations?
At BrightPath, we understand the challenges that small business health plan employees and owners face. That’s why we created the BrightPath Advantage—a fully managed, compliant, and cost-free program that helps employers reduce taxes and expenses while delivering robust health benefits employees actually use.
This isn’t your average Section 125 plan. The BrightPath Advantage goes beyond by integrating Section 125 with a Preventative Care Management Plan (PCMP) and a Self Insured Medical Reimbursement Plan (SIMRP)—creating one of the most compliant and benefit-rich programs available today.
Let’s break down how small business owners can leverage this innovative program to take control of healthcare costs, strengthen team morale, and keep top talent without breaking the bank.
Why Traditional Health Plan Doesn’t Work for Small Businesses Health Plan Employees?
For many small businesses, offering a comprehensive health plan often means sacrificing growth or eating into razor-thin margins. Traditional group health plan can be:
- Costly: Premiums rise every year, with limited cost control options.
- Complex: Administrative requirements and compliance can be overwhelming.
- Underutilized: Employees often can’t afford copays or deductibles.
That’s where the BrightPath Advantage comes in—bringing a new era of affordable health benefits that truly work for small businesses and their teams.
Introducing the BrightPath Advantage: A Smarter Health Benefit Strategy
The BrightPath Advantage is designed specifically for small businesses looking to offer meaningful health benefits without raising costs. This innovative program combines three key components:
Section 125 (Premium-Only Plan)
Allows employees to contribute to their benefits pre-tax, reducing taxable income and increasing take-home pay—without any change to net pay.
Preventative Care Management Plan (PCMP)
Employees gain access to valuable preventative care tools, wellness coaching, telehealth, and more—all with $0 copays.
Self Insured Medical Reimbursement Plan (SIMRP)
BrightPath administers pre-tax reimbursements for eligible healthcare expenses—without adding complexity for the employer.
Together, these elements form a single, compliant, fully managed program.
Small Business Employer Benefits: Big Savings, No Hassles
With the BrightPath Advantage, small business owners can see an immediate positive impact—both financially and culturally.
Here’s what you get as an employer:
- Save ~$680/year per W2 employee
That’s $68,000 in annual savings for every 100 employees, just by reducing payroll tax liability. - Zero out-of-pocket cost
There’s no catch. BrightPath covers implementation and management, so you’re not paying extra to participate. - Reduced claims and plan risk
Clients report up to $1,400 in average claims savings over three years due to better preventative care access. - Fast, automated implementation

Employee Benefits That Matter—Without Cutting Into Pay
Unlike typical health plans that drain employee paychecks, the BrightPath Advantage provides:
- No change to take-home pay
Employees won’t see any difference in their net paycheck, despite gaining new benefits. - $0 copay 24/7 Telehealth
Access to doctors, nurses, wellness coaches, and more—with no cost barriers. - Mental health and counseling support
Employees and their families can receive help for stress, addiction, anxiety, and more. - Mayo Clinic-backed health dashboard

Serious benefits that go beyond the basics—automatically included. - Spouse and dependent enhancements

More than 30,000 employees are already enrolled in the BrightPath Advantage, and that number grows daily—because this solution works.
Leveraging a Medical Flexible Spending Account for More Savings
In addition to the built-in pre-tax advantages of the program, small businesses can pair the BrightPath Advantage with a Medical Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to further increase employee savings.
An FSA lets employees set aside pre-tax dollars for qualified medical expenses, maximizing tax efficiency while minimizing out-of-pocket costs.
BrightPath Advantage + FSA = a powerful duo for small business health savings.
