Section 125 of the United States Tax Code allows you to reduce your taxable income by the amount you pay for medical and dental insurance. Individual savings will vary based on your income, number of exemptions, and your tax bracket. While the medical and dental plans do cover many health care expenses, there are co-payments, deductibles and services which may not be covered. This increases your take-home pay by reducing your taxes. Many employees choose to establish an account to pay for items such as contact lenses, prescription glasses or orthodontia.
