Evaluating iM4 Health

See what matters most to your role.

Built for every executive involved in the decision — same program, different reasons to say yes.

Employee affordability that employees can actually feel.

Every open role costs money before you find a replacement. iM4 Health turns your existing payroll tax structure into a retention lever — delivering up to a 7% employee pay increase — no plan redesign, no open enrollment disruption, no employee cost.

Beyond the pay increase itself, expanded access to day-one virtual and behavioral care means employees get care sooner — and when eligible primary, urgent and behavioral visits shift outside the major medical plan, those same visits may no longer become claims against it. Better access and reduced claims exposure move together.

Important: iM4 Health does not replace any existing healthcare policy. It enhances coverage and offsets out-of-pocket costs for employees who already have insurance. For those with or without coverage, it provides comprehensive benefits from day one.

What HR Leaders Need to Know

  • No new payroll deduction — employees see a net increase, not a tradeoff
  • No plan redesign — sits alongside your existing benefits stack
  • No hours threshold — part-time workers qualify immediately
  • No waiting period — coverage begins with the first paycheck
  • 16% average reduction in paid sick time across deployed groups
  • Potential claims reduction — eligible primary, urgent and behavioral care can shift outside the major medical plan
  • Legal memorandum available for employer counsel upon request

Two Potential Economic Levers. Evaluated Separately.

iM4 Health is designed to improve employee affordability without increasing employer cost. Separately, employers may also see reduced healthcare claims exposure as eligible care shifts outside the major medical plan.

iM4 Health works alongside your existing payroll infrastructure to reduce employer-side payroll tax exposure — no new spend, no plan restructuring, no cash outlay required to implement. Your finance team gets a payroll tax line reduction averaging ~$757 per employee annually. Your CHRO gets a retention tool. Same program, two reasons to say yes.

These two economic considerations are modeled and evaluated separately — never combined into a single figure — so the basis for each remains clear.

How does this show up on our books?
As a reduction in employer-side FICA payroll tax liability — a line-item reduction visible on your 941, beginning in the first payroll cycle after enrollment.
Is this cash-neutral or cash-positive from day one?
Cash-positive from day one. FICA savings exceed the program cost, generating net savings that begin accumulating immediately.
What's the assumption behind the $757/employee figure?
~$757 is the average annual employer payroll-tax savings per enrolled employee. Illustrative organizational models use a conservative 56% employee adoption assumption — well below the 95% adoption McDonald's has documented. We'll run your actual numbers with no obligation.

A recurring revenue layer on top of your existing platform.

iM4 Health is designed to work alongside major enterprise payroll environments, including ADP, Workday, UKG, SAP, Oracle PeopleSoft, Paycor, Paycom, Dayforce, isolved and others. It runs as a pre-tax election through your existing payroll infrastructure.

The take-home-pay mechanism runs entirely through your existing payroll infrastructure — no new deduction category, no plan redesign. The healthcare-access component runs in parallel through the same enrollment, without requiring separate implementation work.

A Second Potential Economic Benefit

Beyond payroll savings, evidence of reduced healthcare claims exposure.

In an 800+ employee fully insured case study, more than $108,000 in healthcare-related savings was documented over seven months across virtual primary care, diverted urgent care and mental-health supporting benefits.

This observed result is separate from the take-home-pay economics and should not be interpreted as a forecast for another employer. We'll prepare an illustrative, employer-specific analysis showing both economic levers separately — no obligation.
