Why did my employer purchase a MERP?

Your employer purchased a medical expense reimbursement plan (MERP) because he or she is looking out for your best interests by examining ways to cut costs while still providing you with the same health insurance benefits. Some employers have told us they would not have been able to provide health insurance benefits or would have been forced to severely cut benefits without purchasing a MERP.

What is a MERP?

A medical expense reimbursement plan (MERP) utilizes Section 105 of the tax code, a provision that has been included for more than 50 years. A MERP allows business owners to deduct any portion of a medical expense for its employees. It includes any business with one or more employees, so any sole proprietor is able to take advantage of this code. ClaimLinx can help you find the best way to use a MERP to save money.
