Why use an Olympia Health & Dental Plan? This innovative program will enable you to have your business pay for your family's health and dental expenses and deduct 100% of the cost as a business expense. If you already have extended health insurance, you can still use this program to cover the portion of expenses not covered in your existing plan. The Olympia plan provides a unique offering that enables small business owners to take tax free money from their corporation to pay for their family's health and dental expenses. Olympia Benefits Inc. is pleased to offer $100 off the $335 set up fee and $10 off of the $40 employee enrollment fee for Olympia's Plan 1 and Plan 3 Health and Dental Plan. Find out more about reducing the cost of your families health and dental expenses and email Olympia at gillisd@olympiabenefits.com.
