Funding options
Competitive payment plans that fit your budget
We provide several funding options for small and large business health plans. Funding options let you determine how much the business will pay each month for employees’ insurance costs and what administrative services will be covered.
The best option depends on your desired level of control, as well as cost and risk preferences.
Funding options:
- Fully insured: Your business pays a fixed monthly premium. We pay the employees’ insurance claims and cover administrative services. This no-risk option comes with higher premiums.
- Shared funding: Your business pays a lower, fixed monthly premium to cover certain administrative services, such as claims processing and customer service support. You’ll pay employees’ claims through stop-loss coverage, an insurance fund that retains unspent payments for future claims. We cover claims in excess of your monthly funding limit. Stop-loss coverage keeps your costs consistent, making it a no-risk option for employers.
- Self-funding: Your business pays the lowest fixed monthly premium for plan administrative services that guide you through risk and claims management. You’ll pay employees’ claims. This option is best for businesses that want greater control over their health plans. This option has higher financial risk and may not be available for small businesses.
The size of your business may affect the availability of options. See our small business funding options or large business funding options for more information.
