Benefits

Our Self-Funded Group Insurance Plans

There are several key reasons that opting to use a self-funded health insurance plan is a better option for your business. Thanks to the structure of alternative funding, your business is taking on the majority of the risk related to offering health coverage to your employees. This means that you enjoy several benefits including the following.
Lower Costs – Since you’re taking over the majority of the financial burden in a self-funded health insurance plan, you are able to get lower overall rates. Insurance companies generally charge based on the amount of risk that they face by providing insurance to someone or to a group. When you take over funding of the insurance, they have much less risk. This translates to much less overall cost to you.
More Flexibility – We offer self-funded health insurance that can be fully built for your business and your employees. We know that every business is different. That’s why each client is able to select a plan that fits their needs. This can include adding coverage like dental or vision, and adjusting premiums, co-pays, and coverage amounts can all have an impact on the level of coverage as well as the final costs. This flexibility ensures that you can get a self-funded health insurance plan that fits your exact needs.
With self-funded health insurance, your monthly payments are actually placed into a bank account that is then used by employees when they file a claim, use a co-pay, and more. At the end of the year, if there are additional funds left remaining in the account than businesses will likely get a refund, depending upon the product and carrier. Some of the extra funds are given to the insurance company to cover administrative costs, but the remainder are returned to your business or held to be reinvested into your renewal for the next plan year. The specific amounts of the split will vary based on your policy and the carrier selected, but this extra cash at the end of the year can make a major difference in your annual budget and provide additional cashflow when you need it.
ACA Compliance – Not all businesses are required to have insurance in place to maintain ACA compliance. But, offering one of our self-funded health plans allows you to ensure that you are fully compliant and have nothing to worry about.
Happier Employees – All employees today expect to have some form of benefits when they join a team. This applies to your workers as well, and health insurance is one of the main things that employees look for when choosing a company to work for. When you have a good self-funded health insurance plan in place, you boost company morale and keep your employees happier. This can make a big difference in productivity, turnover, and more.

    How Self-Funded Health Insurance Plans Work

    The first step to better coverage for your employees is to understand just what self-funded health insurance is. This is a type of ERISA based reinsurance policy that allows groups to take more control over their insurance.

    With a self-funded health insurance plan , your monthly payments are placed into an account that is set up specifically for your insurance policy. Then, as employees file claims the funds are withdrawn directly from that account. This is where the ‘self-funded’ aspect comes into play – instead of paying an insurance provider to keep your team fully covered, you essentially fund the medical costs yourself. The insurance provider still receives a fee, but those costs are simply for the administrative work of maintaining your account.

    Group Self-Funded Health Coverage

    Additionally, these types of self-funded health plans are generally group insurance plans. Group coverage means that individuals don’t have to pay specifically for their coverage. In a traditional single person insurance policy, the individual will be given charges and coverage based on their age, their weight, and their existing health. This means that someone with diabetes or someone who is older or overweight could pay far more for insurance than someone young and healthy.

    With group self-funded health coverage, the risk factors are spread out throughout the group – an individual who is diabetic’s health risks are offset by another member who may never end up using the health plan. This means that those who may have been uninsurable on their own can actually get a policy that works for them. With risks spread out, the overall cost of coverage drops dramatically.

    Cost Basics

    The specific cost of what alternative funding will cost you when you file for coverage largely depends on the employee demographics of your business. The insurance company will begin by looking at factors that impact healthcare needs including things like:
    • Number of members to be covered by the policy
    • Age and gender of members
    • Health issues already present and how they could impact your future claims fund
    • Risk factors related to what type of business you have

    Since you’re providing self-funded health care to a group of people at your business, you’re able to mitigate risks and lower overall costs. You’ll get an accurate estimate as to what your risk level and your costs should be, and then have that applied to your policy. Over time, the policy costs can be adjusted at renewal if it’s shown that you are paying too much or too little.

    How Your Monthly Payment is Used

    Once you find your ERISA based self-funded health insurance plan, we start processing your payments and applying them in three different areas:
    • Aggregate and specific stop loss costs are applied to the premium
    • Costs are delivered to pay for administrative expenses
    • Funds are deposited into the Aggregate claim liability account to be used when needed

    With our lower costs through alternative funding, we ensure that your employees get the protection they need without struggling to find an option that fits into your budget.
