Self Funding Health Care

SELF-FUNDING

Health plans where
employers call the shots.

People have learned to expect high costs and low satisfaction from traditional health plans. Self-funding flips the script. It’s a model that helps companies deliver benefits to workers while holding on to their savings.

What are self-funded benefits?

With fully-insured health benefits, companies pay ever-rising premiums to insurers, no matter how healthy their workers are. By contrast, self-funding companies directly assume the cost of their employee health plans, paying for care when it’s needed, and keeping the money when it’s not.

That has big benefits for small and medium-size companies looking to increase quality and control spending.

When healthcare is a black box, costs skyrocket. With self-funding, companies have the information they need to choose providers and services with eyes open and keep improving how they do things.

Better Outcomes

Self-funding removes incentives that lead to wasteful and unproductive care. Employees are guided to the right care at the right time at the best price, with support to manage health before more costly care is needed.

BENEFIT

Employee
Satisfaction

Self-funded plans, like those from HealthEZ, include support that takes the burdens of healthcare management off employees. So they can focus on work and life, not health insurance hassles.
