If you’re looking for a smarter way to offer employee benefits without adding to your budget, Section 125 plans may be the answer. But not all plans are created equal. Today’s most effective Section 125 programs don’t just stop at tax savings, they also deliver comprehensive health, wellness, and financial protections.
A Section 125 cafeteria plan lets employees pay for qualified benefits with pre-tax dollars, lowering taxable income and cutting employer payroll taxes. But traditional plans often stop at the basics. BrightPath Advantage transforms the model, combining Section 125 tax savings with preventive care, $0 copay healthcare, mental health support, and family coverag, all fully compliant and cost-free. Employers save up to $1,100 per W-2 annually while employees gain real, comprehensive care. Setup takes just 30–45 days, with absolutely no disruption to existing coverage.
At BrightPath Group, our BrightPath Advantage plan enhances the traditional Section 125 model by integrating it with preventative care, specialized coverage, and full-family wellness services. Here’s a breakdown of what Section 125 plans are, why they matter, and how BrightPath is setting a new standard.
What Is a Section 125 Plan?
A Section 125 plan, commonly called a cafeteria plan, is a benefits program allowed under IRS Code Section 125. It gives employees the option to pay for certain qualified expenses like health insurance, dental, and vision premiums before taxes are taken out of their paycheck.
This setup offers dual tax benefits:
- Employees save money by reducing their taxable income.
- Employers lower their payroll tax liability.
Traditionally, Section 125 plans include pre-tax premium deductions and flexible spending accounts (FSAs). But forward-thinking organizations are now turning to enhanced solutions like the BrightPath Advantage, a program that does far more than just shelter income.
How the BrightPath Advantage Plan Enhances a Traditional Section 125 Program
While standard cafeteria plans offer basic tax relief, BrightPath Advantage combines Section 125 with two additional, fully managed components:
- Preventative Care Management Plan (PCMP)
- Specialized Insurance Medical Reimbursement Plan (SIMRP)
The result? A comprehensive, compliant, and benefit-rich Section 125 program that works harder for your team, and your bottom line.
