Some businesses might want to pay directly for employees’ health insurance without using a compliant Section 105 Plan.
Park City, Utah (PRWEB) February 01, 2014
Today, Zane Benefits, the #1 Online Health Benefits Solution, published new information on why businesses should never pay personal health insurance premiums.
According to Zane Benefits’ website, businesses should never pay for employees' personal health insurance premiums directly, however there are IRS-approved vehicles businesses can use to reimburse personal health insurance premiums in 2014 and beyond.
In summary, federal regulations prohibit businesses from paying directly for employees' personal health insurance premiums, outside of a Section 105 Healthcare Reimbursement Plan (HRP) or other ACA/IRS/HIPAA/ERISA-qualified vehicle (e.g. Section 125).
According to Zane Benefits’ website, some businesses might want to pay directly for an employees' individual health insurance plans without utilizing an ERISA and HIPAA-compliant Section 105 Plan, but doing so may put the business out of compliance with federal regulations and may increase the business's (and employees') tax liability.
