Let the IRS give your
employees a raise.
Most business owners have never heard of Section 125 — a federal tax code that puts $72 more per paycheck in your employees' pockets and saves you $681+ per employee, per year. Zero cost to you or your employees. Your team gets a raise. You save thousands. The government covers both.

Section 125 Plan for San Diego Businesses
Two San Diego case studies anchor this market: Golden Living Point Loma (51-employee assisted living facility, owner is a practicing attorney) saves $120K/year, and Maaco San Diego (Peter Capdevielle, 20-year franchisee) confirmed a 50%+ Workers' Comp reduction.
Two attorneys and a 20-year franchisee — three sophisticated due-diligence buyers — independently verified the Section 125 program before enrolling their San Diego businesses. Dan Salceda at Golden Living personally reviewed the IRS tax code; Peter Capdevielle at Maaco reviewed the documentation thoroughly enough that he then referred 26 other Maaco owners.
San Diego businesses in the 30–80 employee range see net annual FICA savings between $20,000 and $54,000, plus industry-specific WC reduction. The math compounds especially well for senior-care and auto-service operators in the area.
What this looks like in practice.
“Being a lawyer myself, I implemented a rigorous evaluation — review of tax codes, consultations with CPAs, and securing a robust legal opinion. We proceeded unanimously.”

Skepticism is the right response. We don't ask you to take our word for it — we bring institutional proof that convinced CPAs, CFOs, attorneys, and insurance brokers to enroll their own companies.
Darcy L. Hitesman, J.D.
35+ years as an Employee Benefits attorney specializing in IRC Section 125, ERISA, HIPAA, and the ACA. Her May 5, 2025 opinion letter concludes: “In this firm's opinion, the Program described satisfies applicable IRS requirements.”
She specifically reviewed the IRS Chief Counsel Advice memoranda on "double-dip" arrangements — the exact schemes the IRS has flagged — and concluded this program is built differently and compliantly.

CBIZ independently reviewed the program against IRC §§ 125, 105, and 106, plus ERISA, ACA, and COBRA requirements. Their August 22, 2025 letter concludes: “If operated per its provisions, the Program appears to satisfy the requirements of ERISA, the ACA, and COBRA as well.”
This review was commissioned by Affinity Hospice's CEO before enrolling his nationwide organization — and the CFO (himself a CPA) shared the letter publicly in his testimonial.
Direct From the U.S. Government
Section 125 has been in the Internal Revenue Code since 1978. Congress wrote it there specifically to encourage employers to fund preventive healthcare for American workers. This is not a loophole — it is the precise, intended use of a 47-year-old federal law, grounded in IRS Revenue Ruling 69-154, the specific published ruling supporting the benefit payment structure.
