FAQs

The As to your Qs

We know with implementing a new benefits plan, there are many questions that need to be asked about cost, coverage, how it differs from your current plan, and more. Well, we're here to help.

What's your cost?

We charge a 7.5% admin fee plus taxes on each claim. Your business only pays when claims are made. No claims, no cost.

Are there any additional fees?

None! There are no set-up fees, upfront payments, or monthly premiums. We only charge a 7.5% admin fee plus taxes on claimed expenses.

What's the difference between a Wellness Spending Account (WSA) and a Healthcare Spending Account (HSA)?

An HSA covers a wide range of health-related expenses that are not covered by Canada's standard health insurance plan, and the funds contributed from the business to the account are tax-free income for the employee. A WSA is focused on promoting general well-being and covers a broader range of services and activities that provide support for physical, mental, and financial well-being of employees.

What's the advantage in providing WSAs to my employees instead of providing cash bonuses?

While cash bonuses are a great reward for your team's hard work, offering Wellness Spending Accounts (WSAs) can have a more profound impact on their well-being.

The Mental Health Commission of Canada notes that mental health issues cost Canadian workplaces over $50 billion annually, including costs from absenteeism and reduced productivity. They also highlight that investing $1 in mental health and wellness can yield up to $4 in returns through lower health costs and higher productivity. By choosing WSAs over cash bonuses, you're investing in your employees' health and enhancing their productivity.
