How to save 30% off your Health Insurance plan?
Overt the last few years employer health spending monthly premiums have escalated out of control. We can help you set up a fixed monthly budget where each employee decides where, when and how much to spend on their own families health. Called an HSA or Health Spending Account also allows each employer or small business to set their own budgets to enable ultimate cost controls
As an employer you can set a budget of $200 to $300 per month per employee. Save 30% to 50% off your current health insurance premiums. We've seen cases where monthly premiums increased from $250 per month per employee to $600 per monthly providing the same
Small businesses with 2 or more employees also qualify for an HSA under the current CRA rules
With a health spending account, you don’t need to reach a spending threshold equal to 3% of your income before claiming the Medical Expense Tax credit. With an HSA, dollar one is tax free!
Consider your health and dental care costs. A business owner earning $65,000 a year with $5,000 in out-of-pocket medical costs can reduce personal taxes almost $2,000 by using a 100% tax deductible HSA
Just think about it - companies with private health coverage for their employees pay, on average, 30% MORE than those with HSAs! (Health Savings Accounts)
That's because HSAs are 100% tax deductible, so the money used for healthcare spending is pre-taxed money

We've also said it before and will scream it off the rooftop again and again (okay maybe we won't actually scream it).... HSAs are also more flexible and personal than regular insurance, and will save the company AND employees money in the long run.
The beauty is, HSAs are great as a standalone benefit but are also just as great as a complementary benefit when combined with a regular benefit plan.
What's Covered in an HSA?
Orthodontics, Elderly care, Massage therapy, Laser eye therapy, Fertility treatments

•Excess Medical coverage –$10 for single, $20 for family coverage per month
•…or both…ask us for more info!
What are the benefits of an HSA?
HSA coverage is broader and more flexible than a traditional benefits Plan.
That means there's not as many restrictions (yay!). So, a traditional plan generally has a limit on expenses - for example, only 80% of Dental Services would be reimbursed, up to a maximum dollar amount in a set time period, or only $50.00 is reimbursable per Massage visit. However, with an HSA, there's no set percentage of coverage or dollar limit for certain services. There's also no deductibles that need to be reached before eligible expenses are reimbursed! The only limit to the amount reimbursable for eligible expenses is the amount of funds available in the HSA.
An HSA is also an awesome complement to existing coverage to reduce out of pocket costs for medical expenses!
If someone is also partially covered by another Plan, they can claim amounts not reimbursed by that Plan through their HSA - so, they're getting full reimbursement of eligible expenses!
There's also great tax benefits with an HSA. Personally, every dollar is tax free to the Member. As a corporation, a company can deduct the contributions and fees related to the HSA as a business expense.
If a person were to pay for health expenses outside of an HSA, it means they'd have to file for such expenses on their tax return. Using the CRA's Medical Expense Tax Credit (METC) requires that a family reaches a certain (rather high!) healthcare expense spending threshold before the credit can be used.
Additionally, we ensure that all submitted expenses meet CRA eligibility criteria, preventing any possible future tax implications. Keep in mind, we're not tax professionals, and therefore can't give tax advice, so if you have any tax related questions, definitely get in touch with a tax professional!
How Do HSAs Work?
It's really simple!
The Plan Sponsor (company) makes regular contributions on behalf of one or more of the employees, and these contributions go into Member Health Spending Accounts.
We as the trustees then hold onto the funds in legal trust on behalf of the Members, who can use available funds toward the reimbursement of eligible medical expenses.
Our awesome Claims Experts process and adjudicate claims quickly and thoroughly once received to ensure the funds are reimbursed to Members as quickly as possible.
Easy peasy, right?!
