What Makes the PCMP Program Different from Other Care Models?

Where employee health benefits are concerned, most businesses are left with a choice: high expense or limited coverage. What if there were a better alternative—one that married genuine care, significant savings, and no disruption?

That’s exactly what Elevate+ offers. Built for today’s workforce, this fully managed plan blends three powerful tools into one benefit-rich solution: a Section 125 framework, the Preventative Care Management Plan (PCMP), and the Specialized Insurance Medical Reimbursement Plan (SIMRP).

In this post, we’re focusing on the PCMP program—what it is, how it works, and why it’s a huge leap ahead of other care models on the market.

How Do You Choose the Right Preventative Care Management?

What Is the PCMP Program?

The Preventative Care Management Plan (PCMP) is an organized program that enhances long-term employee health through early capture of risk, ongoing support for wellness, and easy, no-cost access to care. But unlike standard health plans, PCMP is integrated into the Elevate+ benefit framework without costing anything, altering current coverage, or diminishing take-home pay.

Think of it like a proactive care layer, provided in addition to an employee cafeteria plan that features useful tax-saving benefits. It’s not a matter of substituting your health benefits—readily enhancing them clinically and financially, instead.

Chief Differentiators of the PCMP Program Over The Classic Care Models

Here’s the way PCMP differs—and improves—from the standard care model:

1. It’s Proactive, Not Reactive

Legacy health plans emphasize treatment. The PCMP program turns that on its head and is all about prevention. It gives employees tools, screenings, and access to coaching that equip them to stay healthy before issues get expensive.

2. It’s Completely Integrated with Elevate+

The PCMP program isn’t standing on its own. It’s thoroughly equipped in the Elevate+ program, integrated perfectly with the Section 125 framework and SIMRP. That’s seamless onboarding, intelligent automation, and no additional admin effort for HR.

3. It Costs Nothing to Offer

There’s no up-front cost to employers to offer PCMP. And employees gain without so much as a single dollar taken out of their paychecks. That’s what makes Elevate+ one of the most forward-thinking benefits approaches on the market.

4. It Provides 24/7 Access to Care

With $0 copay Telehealth and 24/7 access to doctors, nurses, wellness coaches, and mental health professionals, workers can get help when they need it, without having to jump through hoops or take a day off.

5. It Utilizes Proven Tools and Partners

The PCMP program taps into the tools of world-class institutions such asthe  Mayo Clinic, providing evidence-based wellness tools, digital dashboards, and individualized health tracking. This provides employees with actual data, not estimates.

This all occurs without altering the employee’s primary health insurance or taking additional money out of their paycheck.

How PCMP Fits into a Modern Employee Cafeteria Plan

An employee cafeteria plan (facilitated by IRS Section 125) allows employees to select from a variety of pre-tax benefit alternatives. But with Elevate+, that cafeteria plan is supplemented by the PCMP program, making the benefits wider, deeper, and more meaningful than ever before.

Here’s how they collaborate:

Standard Cafeteria Plan Elevate+ with PCMP Program
