Medical Benefits That Make a Difference: What Today’s Employees Really Want

Today’s workforce expects more than just a paycheck—they want meaningful, practical medical benefits for employees that actually make a difference. Elevate+ is designed to meet that demand, offering a cost-free, fully compliant solution that boosts employee wellbeing while helping employers save. It’s modern, seamless, and built for companies that want to give more without spending more.

That’s where Elevate+ comes in.

Elevate+ provides a transformational approach in contrast to conventional options. By integrating three potent components—a Section 125 medical plan, a Preventative Care Management Plan (PCMP), and a Self-Insured Medical Reimbursement Plan (SIMRP)—into a single, automated solution, it is designed to address the actual demands of today’s workforce. The outcome? One of the most extensive and benefit-rich plans out there, with the goal of improving employee and business well-being.

Let’s break down why this matters more than ever—and why tens of thousands of employees are already enrolled in Elevate+.

What Employees Want Today

The workforce has evolved. People expect more from their benefits package—not just in terms of coverage, but also in how it fits their lifestyle.

Employees want:

  • Health benefits that cover real, everyday needs
  • Mental health support
  • Tools to prevent illness, not just treat it
  • Family-friendly coverage
  • Benefits that don’t eat into their paycheck

At the same time, they don’t want extra out-of-pocket costs or confusing systems. They want simple, effective support that feels like it’s designed for them.

The Problem with Traditional Plans

Many traditional benefit packages simply don’t go far enough. They focus on reactive care instead of preventative care. They cost more each year, offer limited support outside major medical events, and often lead to frustration instead of satisfaction.

Employees may still feel underfunded or anxious about coverage gaps even when their employers make significant investments in these standard perks. Employers may incur greater expenses, less productivity, and decreased retention as a result of this gap.

The Elevate+ Solution: Smart, Simple, and Impactful

Elevate+ was designed to address this exact gap. It doesn’t just offer medical benefits—it leverages Section 125 together with a fully managed PCMP and SIMRP to create a well-rounded experience that empowers both employees and employers.

Here’s how it works:

Key Employer Benefits:

  • Save ~$600/year per W2 employee (That’s around $60,000 in savings for every 100 employees)
  • No out-of-pocket costs for the business
  • Reduced healthcare claims (average savings of $1,400 per employee over 3 years)
  • 30–45 day automated rollout—fast and seamless
  • Boost retention and workforce performance
  • Immediate bottom-line impact

All this, without disrupting your current payroll system or increasing operational overhead.

Key Employee Benefits:

  • 3–4% net paycheck increase (roughly $100/month in many cases)
  • $0 copay for 24/7 telehealth, including doctors, nurses, and mental health providers
  • Access to Mayo Clinic wellness tools and a personalized health dashboard
  • Universal Life, Disability, and Critical Illness coverage
  • Spouse and dependent coverage included
  • No change to net take-home pay

Everything is integrated, compliant, and fully managed. It feels like getting more—because it is.

And with more than 40,000 employees already enrolled, Elevate+ is proving that modern benefits can be both generous and cost-free.

What Makes Elevate+ Different?

This isn’t a typical Section 125 plan. In fact, calling it that would be selling it short.

Elevate+ combines three powerful components:

  1. Section 125 Tax Advantage – Allows employees to set aside a portion of their pre-tax salary for medical benefits, reducing payroll taxes for both the employee and employer.
  2. Preventative Care Management Plan (PCMP) – Encourages early interventions and proactive health support, reducing long-term medical costs and improving overall well-being.
  3. Self-Insured Medical Reimbursement Plan (SIMRP) – Offers targeted reimbursements for a broader range of health services, from mental health support to supplemental insurance benefits.

When these three components work together, the result is a highly effective, low-cost program that feels custom-built for today’s workplace needs.

Why Employers Love It

Employers are often stuck choosing between increasing compensation and upgrading benefits. With Elevate+, they don’t have to choose. The program offers a rare win-win:

  • Cut tax waste instead of increasing payroll costs
  • Support employee families without financial trade-offs
  • Maintain existing systems with no need for complex changes
  • Comply with all regulations while improving workforce morale

It’s not just about saving money—it’s about creating a stronger, healthier, more loyal team.

Why Employees Stay for It

From day one, employees feel the impact of Elevate+. Their paychecks are stronger, their benefits are broader, and their experience with healthcare feels more personal.

  • They can book a telehealth consult at 2 a.m. with no copay.
  • They have access to world-class tools like the Mayo Clinic’s health dashboard.
  • They receive coverage that includes spouses and children, all without having to give up any part of their paycheck.

In short, Elevate+ helps people live better, at no extra cost.

A Smarter Approach to Modern Benefits

Elevate Benefits was created to help companies give more to their teams, without spending more. By aligning compliance, automation, and employee empowerment, Elevate+ offers a powerful alternative to traditional benefits.

This is your chance to modernize your benefits strategy. To empower your employees. To reduce costs without making sacrifices. To do more with less—and prove that the right medical benefits for employees can make all the difference.

Final Thoughts

Elevate+ makes it possible.

With a fully managed solution that leverages Section 125, PCMP, and SIMRP, it’s one of the most compliant, automated, and benefit-rich programs available today. And with over 40,000 employees already on board, the numbers speak for themselves.
