What is an LPA?

LPAs are a means for companies to help support health and wellness activities in their lives. But LPAs differ from other spending accounts (HSAs, FSAs, etc.) in two key ways.

Unlike funds contributed to an HSA, employers pay for only the amounts employees actually spend, which can make a big difference at the year-end budget review. An LPA also adds flexibility to benefits plans.

1

LPAs typically provide an annual reimbursement for covered products and services on a pre-tax or after-tax basis.

2

Employers decide how employees can spend their LPA funds, with acceptable product and service categories. Many employers see this ability to limit and direct employee spending of employer-provided money as a compelling reason to offer LPAs 

3

There is no additional administrative burden for the employer. Once the categories are determined, PTO Exchange will adjudicate the purchases made to ensure they fit within the approved pillar or we can provide pre-loaded debit cards for eligible expenses.

PTO Exchange can help create your LPA program and contribute paid time off towards their accounts 

Let your employees choose how to spend their LPA based on wellbeing category “pillars” of approved expenditures. All categories are completely customizable for your organization.
