Has any one heard of Paradigm Solutions Group, LLC / The Healthier Plan
They promote having employee pay 100% of medical premium through a 125 plan. then reimburse medical expenses under a MERP/HRA (reimbursed amount is close to the after tax cost of the employee). The net effect to employee paycheck is zero, but employer saves money even after admin fees. Typical savings to employer claimed is 10 to 20%. Employee is supposed to keep receipts of qualified expenses and submitt at year end. Meanwhile the employee all year long is receiving reimbursements under the MERP. I asked what if the employee has no receipts or expenses and was told they could sign off stating they had them or make the MERP reimbursements taxable to the employee. Any thoughts or experiences with this program?
