Introduction of Healthcues Program
Healthcues, a provider specializing in supplementary benefits for preventative healthcare, has announced the launch of its innovative supplemental health insurance tailored for the commercial vehicle sector. This unique offering incurs no out-of-pocket costs for either employees or employers, providing elective limited health insurance benefits under Section 125 that leverage pre-tax dollars to mitigate payroll tax expenses.
Financial Incentives for Healthy Practices
“Motivating employees to engage in preventative healthcare initiatives can be challenging,” stated Michael Kestler, the Vice President of Business Development at Healthcues. “We designed a program that incentivizes individuals to embrace healthier habits, especially since those who are already in good health recognize the benefits of preventative care, while individuals who could benefit the most often do not participate.”
Employee Benefits and Savings
With the innovative Healthcues program, employees gain unlimited access to a wealth of resources aimed at promoting healthier lifestyles and can potentially increase their take-home pay by over 4% each year. For employers, the net savings from reduced payroll taxes can average about $600 annually per employee. Moreover, Healthcues can integrate with a Gap Plan to cover expenses not managed by standard health insurance, assisting in financing the Gap Plan coverage through the savings generated by Healthcues.
Healthcues’ Mission
“Our mission is to enhance the health of our nation by making healthy living more of a benefit rather than a chore,” Kestler continued. “We recognize that managing pre-tax dollars through payroll can be cumbersome for employers, particularly those experiencing high turnover rates. Therefore, we developed the Healthcues platform to be user-friendly for employees while ensuring ease of management for employers.”

Taking a proactive stance on preventative healthcare, Healthcues offers a suite of services and educational programs aimed at encouraging participants to adopt healthier lifestyles. Its approach includes:
