Lawyers are often granted generous compensation packages in an increasingly competitive field. BeniComp Select Executive Medical Reimbursement protects key employees from out-of-pocket medical, dental, vision, and hearing expenses that are not covered by most company’s regular health care programs.
BeniComp Select's creative health compensation
solution is perfect for law firms.
Here’s how it works.
If every lawyer at a firm has a $6,000 deductible health plan, the firm can offer a $10,000 BeniComp Select plan to each lawyer resulting in no out-of-pocket deductible expenses plus $4,000 to spend on additional medical expenses such as dental, vision, chiropractic, and other services not usually covered by traditional plans.
Additionally, every one of the BeniComp Select claims is tax deductible. The average lawyer makes over $150,000/yr. Assuming a lawyer is at least in the 33% tax bracket, the lawyer would experience over $3,300 in savings on $10,000 in claim spend.
Classes
Larger firms typically setup classes. Rather than reward all employees at a company, the employer is able to reward individual employees or groups of employees by class. For example, a law firm could setup three classes:
- $50,000 policies for Senior Partners
- $20,000 policies for Junior Partners
- $10,000 policies for Paralegals
