Big and small businesses alike gain several advantages through self-funding, including money-saving benefits and greater flexibility. Smaller businesses are more concerned about catastrophic claims, but purchasing stop-loss insurance protects you. Self funding began in the 1950's. Development of stop loss products made self funding feasible for employers with 15 or more employees.
You own it, so it’s yours. You’ll have full access to claims data, which allows you to make targeted decisions that can improve your employees’ healthcare and control costs.
Fully insured plans offered by health insurance companies can be inflexible with no changes allowed. With a self-funded health plan administered by Benefit Management Consultants, LLC, you’ll have the freedom to choose copay amounts, deductible amounts, and covered services.
Working with Benefit Management Consultants, LLC, you’ll be able to determine the level of coverage you require and the budget to fund it. You’ll purchase stop-loss insurance to cover unanticipated high claims costs at the individual and/or aggregate level.
Self-funded plans reduce your premium costs. Self-funded plans are also preempted by ERISA from paying state mandated costs. Most important: You pay only for the healthcare services your employees actually use, rather than a fixed monthly premium. If eligible medical claims for a year do not exceed your plan’s predetermined limit, the plan can keep those dollars to offset the subsequent year’s funding. What is normally profit to an insurance company goes to the bottom line for a self funded employer.
A self-insured health plan is one in which your company assumes responsibility for providing healthcare benefits to your employees. A self-funded plan is not health insurance in the sense that you pay premiums to a commercial insurance carrier and they administer the plan. Instead, your company sets up a fund for your employees’ healthcare claims and hires a third party administrator (TPA) like Benefit Management Consultants, LLC. to administer it.
As healthcare costs can be managed like most operating expenses, employers are increasingly looking to self-fund their employee healthcare benefits. They’re tired of one-size-fits-all insurance policies, annual rate increase and are seeking more flexible, cost-effective alternatives.
