BENEFIT CHECK:
If you own your company, and it provides health and dental benefits to employees, you can use a “Cost Plus” program to top up owners’ coverage. That lets you pay for expenses not normally covered by group benefits, like laser eye or cosmetic surgery, in pre-tax dollars. Ask for details.
