The basics

Understand the opportunity.

Nexwell Advantage helps employers explore potential payroll tax savings and additional employee wellness services. As an independent SIMERP® Certified Partner, we connect you with the program team and help coordinate questions, review and next steps.

The term stands for Self-Insured Medical Expense Reimbursement Plan. It is an employer-sponsored arrangement for eligible medical care, rather than a health insurance policy. The program team explains the proposed structure, payroll treatment and required documentation during your review.

The program is designed to complement your existing health plan and broker relationship. Your review should confirm how the additional services fit with the coverage and support your employees already have.

No. SIMERP® describes availability across industries and all 50 states, generally for employers with at least 25 W-2 employees. Your workforce, payroll and proposed plan still need an eligibility review. Contact Nexwell Advantage to discuss your company’s situation.

Savings and costs

See the complete financial picture.

The published program figure is up to $640 per enrolled employee per year. Your projected net savings depend on payroll, enrollment, eligibility, plan terms and program costs. A personalized analysis should explain the assumptions and the amount your business could retain. Savings are not guaranteed.

Review the proposed program and administration costs alongside the expected payroll savings. The program is intended to fund those costs through savings, but your company should evaluate its own net result before deciding to enroll.

SIMERP® describes potential take-home pay increases under its program structure. The effect depends on each employee’s circumstances, including compensation, tax treatment and elections. Ask the program specialists to show the employee payroll calculation for your proposed plan.
SIMERP® publishes examples from employers in home care, industrial equipment, transportation, animal care, HVAC and legal services. These are SIMERP®-reported examples, not Nexwell Advantage client results or a forecast for your business. Review SIMERP®’s reported results.

Employee care

Know what your people can use.

Available services include virtual primary care, virtual urgent care, mental wellness support, covered generic medications and supervised weight wellness. Services, eligibility and availability depend on program terms. Explore the wellness benefits.

No. Virtual urgent care is for appropriate everyday illnesses and non-emergency concerns. It does not replace emergency services, hospital care or your health insurance. Use emergency services for a medical emergency.

No. No-cost medication benefits apply to eligible prescriptions on the program’s covered medication list and through participating pharmacies. Review coverage and pharmacy requirements for any medication you use; do not assume every prescription is included.

This service offers professional support for weight and wellness goals through scheduled visits and coaching. Ask which services are available under your plan. Participation does not mean that every treatment or weight-loss medication is covered.

SIMERP® describes access for enrolled employees and up to six eligible legal dependents. The program team should confirm dependent eligibility, available services and enrollment requirements for your company’s plan.

Getting started

Make an informed decision.

SIMERP® lists a typical 30–60-day period from signed paperwork to launch, with HR involvement generally under five hours. Your schedule depends on completing the review, providing required information, and coordinating payroll and enrollment.

Expect to provide the employee census and payroll information requested for the analysis, review plan documents, coordinate payroll setup and support employee enrollment. The program team explains the information needed and ongoing responsibilities before you move forward.

Yes. Include the advisors who help you manage your business. Ask them to review the plan documents, tax treatment, program costs, employee payroll effects and employer responsibilities. Nexwell Advantage helps coordinate questions with the program specialists.
