FAQ
Not all self-funded health plans are the same. There are many self-funded health plans that operate more like a rented health plan because they are still controlled by an insurance company. This leads to misaligned incentives, hidden revenue streams, and an inability to customize the plan the way you want. It’s like buying a home from a spec home builder or owning a home controlled by an HOA instead of owning your own custom built home. When we speak of owning your own health plan, we mean that you can control every aspect of your plan and have full transparency over all the costs and details of your plan. You are in control of your plan. Not an insurance company.
A self-funded health plan is a type of insurance where instead of paying premium to an insurance company each month, the employer collects the premium internally setting aside funds to pay both fixed costs and variable claim costs throughout the year. The employer will still be protected from large claims that could arise so that no matter the size of the claim or the time of year that it hits, the money they’ve collected or set aside in reserves will be protected. By taking control of your plan and cutting out the traditional insurance company, you will have unparalleled transparency into the costs and interworkings of your plan. You will also have the ability to customize your plan with creative enhancements to strengthen your plan and coverage.
