Internal Revenue Service [IRS] 
[Official Guidance] Jan. 23, 2017
"An employer may not exclude from an employee's gross income payments under an employer-provided fixed indemnity health plan if the value of the coverage was excluded from the employee's gross income and wages. An employer may not exclude from an employee's gross income payments under an employer-provided fixed indemnity health plan if the premiums for the fixed indemnity health plan were originally made by salary reduction through a Section 125 cafeteria plan."
