Section 125 Indemnity Plans
What Is a Section 125 Indemnity Plan — And Why Is Every Smart CFO Paying Attention?
What it is:
Section 125 of the IRS tax code has been around since 1978. It allows employers to offer certain
benefits on a pre-tax basis — meaning employees pay for those benefits before FICA taxes are
calculated. That one shift reduces their taxable income, which means less taken out of every paycheck.
How Does It Work?
We handle the heavy lifting. Here’s what the process looks like:
- Free Consultation and Savings Analysis
- Plan Design and Employee Communication
- Seamless Enrollment
- Ongoing Support and Annual Review
Tax Savings Strategy
What it is:
An IRS-approved employee benefit that reduces the taxable wage base for both employees and
employers — generating real FICA tax savings on every paycheck.
What employees get:
Supplemental indemnity benefits delivered pre-tax. Their take-home pay goes up because their
taxable income goes down.
What employers get:
Reduced employer FICA on every participating employee — adding up to significant annual
bottom-line savings.
Cost to implement:
Zero in most cases. The employer savings offset all administrative costs.
- Average employee savings: $800-$1,200 per year
- Employer FICA reduction on every participating employee
- IRS-compliant since 1978 — not a loophole
- Setup typically complete in 3-6 weeks
- Full implementation support included
Traditional Coverage — Simple, Stable, Compliant
What it is:
Fully insured plans offer predictable monthly premiums with the carrier assuming all financial risk
— ideal for companies that want simplicity and broad network access.
Carriers we work with:
Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna, and others. We’re not tied to any one
carrier.
- Predictable monthly premiums
- Broad provider networks nationwide
- ACA-compliant
- Easy to administer and communicate
- Ideal for companies preferring simplicity
The Smart Middle Ground Between Fully Insured and Self-Insured
What it is:
Level-funded plans combine predictable fixed monthly costs with the cost-saving potential of
self-insurance — plus a surplus refund if claims run low.
Who it's for:
Companies with 15-300 employees tired of premium increases who want real data on their
claims.
- Predictable fixed monthly costs
- Potential year-end surplus refund if claims run low
- Access to real claims data for smarter renewals
- Stop-loss protection caps your maximum exposure
- Often 10-25% less expensive than fully insured
Navigate the PEO Decision With Confidence
What we do:
We provide honest, unbiased analysis of whether a PEO makes sense for your business — and
guide you through any transition, in or out.
Our approach:
No pressure. No commissions tied to a specific PEO. Just straight analysis of your situation.
- Independent PEO analysis — no conflicts of interest
- Cost-benefit modeling for your headcount
- Exit strategy planning if leaving a PEO
- Benefits continuity through any transition
- HR compliance guidance throughout
Build a Package That Competes — No Matter Your Size
What it is:
A fully built-out benefits package — dental, vision, life, disability, supplemental — coordinated
across carriers for best pricing and maximum employee value.
- Dental, vision, life, disability, supplemental options
- Coordinated across multiple carriers
- Designed for retention and recruiting
- Single point of contact for all benefit lines
- Annual review to keep the package optimized

quarterly check-ins — all year, every year.
