buoy CHAMP

Keep your best staff happy while saving money on every paycheck.

High deductibles keep hourly staff from seeing a doctor, while high turnover eats away at restaurant margins. CHAMP pairs Section 125 tax savings with $0 copay primary care and urgent care, giving staff an immediate raise without cutting into shift tips, while unlocking available FICA Tip Credit recovery.

What CHAMP is

Everyday care alongside your major medical plan, or on its own.

Buoy CHAMP is a Minimum Essential Coverage plan offered under a Section 125 arrangement. It is not major medical coverage and it is not a replacement for a major medical plan.

It is designed to provide practical everyday healthcare access, and it can operate alongside your existing major medical coverage or on its own.
