Soda Flex is an innovative employee benefits program designed to empower small and medium businesses (SMEs) with more choice, autonomy, and control over healthcare and wellness perks for their teams. Unlike standard medical plans, Soda Flex extends far beyond outpatient coverage, supporting a diverse spectrum of needs - from dental and optical care to education, lifestyle, and preventive health.
Key features of Soda Flex
- Customisable flex categories: Employers can select from 10 flexible benefit categories, including dental, education, medical insurance, life/personal accident insurance, lifestyle, maternity, medical, preventive care, sport & wellness, and optical. Categories can be turned on or off and tailored to suit company goals and team needs.
- Panel & non-panel medical services: If medical coverage is enabled, employees enjoy cashless access to 620+ panel GP clinics or online consultations. Claims for non-panel services (including dental, specialist, wellness, etc.) are processed without any extra claim charges.
- Transparent, predictable pricing: No setup fees, no surprise admin charges -just a fixed platform fee of $4.00 per employee per month (first 3 months free), plus the actual cost of benefits used. For example, a GP clinic visit costs only $13.
- Pay-as-you-use model: Businesses pay only for benefits actually used, avoiding wasted premiums and helping control costs.
- No paperwork or hassle: Onboarding is instant and self-serve, with employee uploads directly via CSV or XLSX - no long forms or phone calls.
- Full policy control: Employers define their flex policy - set budgets, choose eligible categories, and establish limits all from a single dashboard. Policies can be updated anytime with real-time usage tracking.
- Tailored for diverse teams: Soda Flex covers a wide age range and life stages, ensuring every employee finds benefits that matter to them - perfect for attracting and retaining top talent.
How Soda Flex works
- Set up: Employers customize benefit categories and limits in minutes - no paperwork or waiting.
- Add employees: Invite the team via upload for instant access; employees use their work emails through the Doctor Anywhere app.
- Choose care: Employees pay upfront and submit receipts for flex claims; panel medical services (if enabled) are cashless.
- Claims & reimbursement: After claim approval, the reimbursement report will be sent to HR, so the amounts can be added to payroll.
- Monitor trends: HR can track category popularity and spending in real time to optimize their flex policy.
