George is a contractor with 2 site managers. George’s spouse has a benefits plan through her work which covers 80% and has maximums on dental and drugs. Instead of paying the difference with after-tax dollars, George sets up a Healthcare Spending Account with the Smart Benefits Plan through his business, and sets an annual coverage amount by estimating the portion not covered by his spouse’s plan, such as orthodontia for their children plus the 20% of expenses not covered. His Smart Plan also includes emergency travel coverage and catastrophic drug coverage. George also provides coverage for his 2 key employees as a retention tool by offering them an annual Healthcare Spending Account of $1,500, plus emergency travel coverage and catastrophic drug coverage.
