Where these facts come from

Questions owners ask

Does this replace our health insurance?

No. Champion Health describes its plan as a standalone benefit that sits alongside your existing health plan, which stays in place.

What do employees get?

Champion Health lists $0-copay primary care and urgent care visits, unlimited prescriptions on its formulary at a $0 or $1 copay, 24/7 virtual care, and mental health care with virtual therapists.

What has the IRS said about these plans?

In memorandum 202323006, released in June 2023, the IRS Office of Chief Counsel looked at one common supplemental design, a fixed-indemnity wellness policy paid through a cafeteria plan, and said its wellness payments are wages for payroll tax purposes when the employee has no unreimbursed medical costs. The memo cannot be cited as precedent, so have your own CPA read the exact plan.

Who should review the plan before we sign?

Your CPA or licensed tax advisor, and your benefits advisor. Ask Champion Health for the full plan documents, not only a summary.

What should employees know before they join?

What the plan covers, how much comes out of each paycheck, and what happens to their coverage if they leave. Ask Champion Health to put it in writing.
