Lifestyle/Specialty Accounts

A Specialty Account, also known as a Lifestyle or Wellness Account, allows employers to assist employees in paying for specific expenses. These are typically taxable benefits. Employers choose what the plan can reimburse and set limits regarding eligibility, funding, and maximum spend per plan participant.

Get creative with your benefits

Specialty Accounts (also known as Lifestyle Accounts) allow you to assist employees in paying for specific expenses with a carded or non-carded program. Their flexibility allows you put together a benefits plan that addresses the unique needs of your company and its employees—regardless of where they are in life.

We can help adjudicate claims and approve purchase reimbursements, reducing the complexity of managing the program to give you a hassle-free solution and peace of mind.
