What is a private health services plan?

To be eligible for Corporate Cost Plus or Executive Cost Plus

  • Your business should be incorporated as one of the following:
    • ABC manufacturing ltd or limited.
    • ABC construction inc or incorporated.
    • ABC engineering corp or corporation.
    • Professional corporations are applicable if you are a licensed medical practitioner, health practitioner or dental practitioner, also many Professional Accountants (CPA) & Lawyer’s in Public Practice are eligible.
    • 12345 Alberta Ltd and perhaps with an operating name. ie - o/a ABC plumbing services.
  • Your business generates active business income.
  • You perform services for the business to generate business income.
  • You are paid employment income.
  • If you do not receive earned income (i.e., only dividends), technically you are not an employee; you may still be able to participate in a PHSP so long as you are actively engaged in the activities of the business and that your T5 dividend is considered active income vs passive income.
  • If you only receive dividend income, please consult Innovative Benefits at 780-448-0783 to determine eligibility. You can still establish a Health Spending Account PHSP to provide tax-free benefits for your employees.
  • For executive plans, all executives must be included and there must be an insured or traditional Group Benefit plan in place for the other full-time employees of the business.

Like a traditional employee benefit plan, all arms-length (non-related) full-time employees are eligible and must be included in the plan or offered to participate but opted out. The only exception to this would be when there is already a traditional group benefit plan in place, typically through an insurance company. (Reference our “Executive Cost Plus” plan)
