Plan Designs
There are five FlexMRP plan designs to choose from, as outlined below:
Plan 01 - First-dollar access to the MRP
Used in conjunction with a high-deductible health plan and the MRP is
intended to replace some first dollar benefits (typically co-pays) that
are not part of the high deductible plan.
Plan 02 - Deductible first, then access to the MRP
Used in conjunction with a high-deductible health plan, however, gives the employee a
deductible they must incur before the MRP begins paying out.
Plan 03 - Sandwich deductible
Used in conjunction with a high-deductible health plan and provides the employee with MRP
reimbursement for their expenses, however, there is a gap in the middle of the MRP where the
employee is responsible for their expenses.
Plan 04 - Reversed sandwich deductible
The opposite of the Sandwich Deductible. Used in conjunction with a high-deductible health plan,
however, the MRP coverage sits in-between two employee deductibles.
Plan 05 - Stand Alone MRP
Not generally associated with any health insurance plan. It is simply an account that the employee
has discretionary use of to reimburse eligible out-of-pocket healthcare expenses.
It can also be used as a limited scope account, which only reimburses specific classes of expenses (i.e., dental only).
Expenses must still be eligible under § 213(d)
