question 70

Multiple Choice

Cindy is an employee of Silvertone Corporation. Silvertone pays the medical insurance premiums of all of its employees. Because of large deductible levels and limitations on the payment of certain medical expenses, the basic health insurance policy does not cover all medical costs. During the current year, Silvertone adopted a Cafeteria Plan funded entirely by Silvertone. The plan provides for $3,000 per employee, and Cindy elects $2,500 for her medical costs not covered by the basic policy. She takes the remaining $500 in cash. Actual payments for Cindy's medical care of $1,500 are made from the Cafeteria Plan.
