Employee Benefit Plan

Meaning

An employee benefit plan is a formalized structure provided by an employer to its workforce, offering non-wage compensation that addresses various aspects of their health, financial security, and general welfare. These plans encompass a range of provisions, including medical insurance, retirement savings, disability coverage, and increasingly, comprehensive wellness initiatives aimed at proactive health management. From a clinical perspective, the plan dictates the access and affordability of diagnostic services, therapeutic interventions, and preventative care, directly influencing the physiological health trajectory of the employee population.
