Medcom Cares
Medcom Cares Disaster Recovery Program is the newest addition to our Consumer Driven Health Plans division. Medcom Cares is based on IRS Section 139: Disaster Relief Payments. Section 139 states that employers can provide "Qualified Disaster Relief Payments" to employees, tax-free, who are affected by a federally declared disaster. A qualified disaster relief payment means any amount paid to or for the benefit of an individual to reimburse or pay reasonable and necessary expenses listed as the result of a disaster.
