Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes, you can set up your Aflac payments up as health insurance if it is a policy that exclusively pays medical costs. 

 

As bwa points out, some Aflac plans cover other types of events like accidents and disability, those are not health insurance plans. 

 

Aflac offers plans that pay amounts for specific medical events, like hospitalization, or a doctor visit. These plans are considered health insurance for both payroll and tax purposes. 

 

If you aren't sure if your policy is considered health insurance, check with your agent or contact the company directly.
