Today, healthcare costs are rising fast, making it difficult for employers to offer quality health benefits without overspending. A self-insured medical reimbursement plan provides a smarter, more cost-effective solution. The Lumara Plan stands out by combining the advantages of a traditional Section 125 plan with additional value-driven features. It includes not only the standard Section 125 benefits but also a fully managed Preventative Care Management Plan and a Specialized Insurance Medical Reimbursement Plan.
In this blog, we will explain what the Lumara Plan is, how it works, and how it helps save money while supporting employees.
What is a Self-Insured Medical Reimbursement Plan?
A self-insured medical reimbursement plan allows employers to cover specific healthcare costs directly instead of paying high insurance premiums. This gives businesses more control over how healthcare dollars are spent.
The Lumara Plan takes this to the next level by combining:
- Section 125 (tax savings structure)
- PCMP (Preventative Care Management Plan)
- SIMRP (Specialized Insurance Medical Reimbursement Plan)
Together, these parts create a smarter, more cost-effective health program.
How does the Lumara Plan Work?
The Lumara Plan is designed to be easy for both employers and employees. There is no confusing process, no complicated paperwork. Everything is taken care of for you. Here’s how it works:
- Employees join a simple tax-saving program that uses Section 125
- They get access to a fully managed preventive care program called PCMP
- They are also covered by a special medical reimbursement plan called SIMRP
- The full program is 100 percent compliant with government rules
- Setup is fast and smooth, usually done within 30 to 45 days
- Everything is automated so there is very little work for employers
- A self insured medical reimbursement plan provides a smarter, more cost-effective solution.
