Advancing Healthcare Consumerism

ECFC is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the advocacy, education, advancement, and innovation of tax-advantaged benefit programs that facilitate choice for employers and their employees. We believe such programs empower employees to take control of their healthcare dollars and help employers to provide a positive benefits package and workplace environment.

Our members include employers, third party administrators, health plan providers, payers, providers, payment networks, processors, and financial institutions. Programs supported by ECFC include: Cafeteria plans and other flexible benefit programs under Section 125, consumer-driven healthcare arrangements including health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs) and health savings accounts (HSAs), tax-advantaged transportation spending accounts (TSAs), dependent care assistance plans (DCAPs), and healthcare flexible spending arrangements (FSAs). Collectively, we refer to all these arrangements as “flexible benefit programs.”
