By providing comprehensive access to medical benefits, the plan ensures that employees can afford essential health care for themselves and their families when needed.

“In today’s competitive business environment, the ability to attract and retain top talent depends on offering exceptional benefits that truly meet the needs of today’s employees,” said Steven Guilfoile, CEO of AffordaCare Insurance. “Partnering with Alpine IQ underscores the importance of comprehensive healthcare solutions that go beyond basic care. The CHAMP plan isn’t just about cost savings – it’s about empowering companies to provide high-quality, accessible healthcare that increases employee satisfaction and productivity. We’re proud to partner with innovative, forward-thinking companies like AIQ that recognize that investing in their employees’ well-being is a smart and sustainable strategy for long-term success.”
Founded in 2011, AffordaCare Insurance is committed to changing the landscape of employee benefits. The CHAMP plan stands out because it offers significant savings to both employers and employees without requiring changes to existing healthcare networks.
By utilizing a unique structure, the plan offers significant savings through:
-
Tax benefits for employers: Reduced FICA taxes can save businesses hundreds of thousands of dollars annually.
-
Higher net salary for employees: Employees benefit from tax savings, which lead to a higher net salary despite new deductions.
-
Lower insurance premiums: The CHAMP plan helps lower premiums for major health insurance plans by covering many routine claims.
-
Possible refunds at the end of the year: Some companies may receive significant reimbursements from their primary insurance carriers.
The CHAMP plan creates a win-win situation where employers save money while providing their employees with improved access to healthcare by taking advantage of pre- and after-tax deductions. This innovative approach enables companies like Alpine IQ to offer best-in-class healthcare benefits that attract and retain talent while improving their bottom line.
“The CHAMP plan proves that better health care and cost savings Go hand in hand and usher in a new era of employee benefits,” concluded Guilfoile.
