Lower Costs
By directly financing claims, an employer evades paying claim reserves, Carrier administrative profit margin, risk charges and premium taxes which are all costs that go into a monthly premium.
Cost Management
Flexibility and analysis allows employers to make plan changes necessary to managing costs. A Third Party Administrator (TPA) can supply employers with the tools and data needed to make necessary decisions to design a plan that allows for easier management of costs.
Stronger Flexibility
Self-funded health plans are exempt from state insurance laws that usually mandate certain benefits for other plans. They also allow employers to build a health plan to target specific employee needs and company goals.
Healthcare Reform Loopholes
Self-funded insurance plans are exempt from many ACA requirements

Types of Coverage
The amount of risk for self-funding can be limited through the use of stop-loss insurance. A stop-loss insurance policy is one of the most important components of a self-funded plan. It's important to understand the different types of coverage available to employers.

Individual (Specific)
Specific coverage protects against catastrophic claims acquired by a specific individual.
Group (Aggregate)
Aggregate coverage protects against combined collected claim activity for the plan that is expected to exceed a maximum limit.

What is Stop Loss insurance?
Stop Loss is a tool used in self-funded insurance plans to reduce the overall liability of claims. In a self-funded plan, the employer takes on the financial risk of providing health care benefits to employees instead of the insurance company. The employer is then responsible for all employee and plan member claim costs by all employee and plan members. The employer's plan is usually executed by a Third Party Administrator (TPA) who manages medical claims, establishes a provider network and more. The employer can utilize numerous tools, including Stop Loss insurance, to help manage total losses by improving their ability to lower plan premiums and costs.

How does Stop Loss insurance help my client?
The ability to provide competitive Stop Loss insurance is very important in determining your client's ability to self-fund. Since your client is taking on the financial risk of covering all medical claims, their main concerns may include; individuals with catastrophic claims and their employee's overall use of the health plan.
Stop Loss insurance is built to cover catastrophic claims that exceed your client's per-determined risk tolerance. Stop Loss insurance is available in Individual (Specific), which covers catastrophic losses on each individual insured under the health plan, and Group (Aggregate), which provides additional protection for self-funded health plans designed to limit the plan's maximum financial risk.

Should my client consider self-funding?
Not every employer is right for self-funded insurance. A common misunderstanding is that self-funding is only for large employers. Self-funded insurance plans can be set up by smaller employers as well. There are no rules to follow to determine if your client is right for a self-funded plan. The best way to determine if your client can benefit from self-funding is to analyze their existing health plan and recent claims.
