Employers have the ability to choose from a variety of plan designs and customized benefits to fit the needs of their employees. Employers are also able to choose a funding option and banking arrangement that best suits their budget and cash flow.

With Self-Funding, there are different arrangements for cost containment strategies:

Level Funded

Health plans that allow employers to pay a preset level 4-tier premium equivalent which includes fixed costs and the maximum claims fund. Because the employer is pre-funding the claims, any unused claim funds at the end of the contract period will be returned to the employer as savings.      

Level Funded Plans are the introduction to Self-Funding from Fully-Insured plans
