Do you work for a Company that offers a Cafeteria Plan? A Cafeteria Plan permits employees to authorize the employer to reduce their pay for expenses such as Health Insurance, Day Care and Medical/Dental expenses not covered by insurance. The company then saves payroll taxes and the employee saves FICA, Federal and State taxes.

Our Weight-Loss Program is an eligible expense if the weight loss is recommended by a physician to treat an existing disease, and is not just to improve general health. A physician’s note is required for claim approval. A note must state the medical condition as to why the doctor is recommending a weight loss program.

Our Weight-Loss Program is Ineligible if the medical expenses are for the purpose of controlling weight to maintain your general good health. But you can include the cost of a weight-loss program undertaken at a physician’s direction to treat an existing disease (such as heart disease). Check with your cafeteria plan provider for weight-loss eligible expenses.
