With healthcare costs rising significantly each year, many companies are looking for ways to reduce the impact they have on their businesses. Self-funded plans have been the best way to reduce these costs.

Under self-funded plans, an employer provides health benefits to their employees using their own funds. Essentially, the employer pays the claims for their employees' health benefits. The employer saves money by not paying for a traditional insurance carrier to manage and process claims. They eliminate the risk of large claims by purchasing stop-loss insurance.

Larger companies have been using self-funded plans for years, but up until a few years ago, there were not many options for small to mid-sized businesses. Captive insurance plans are great ways for smaller businesses to take advantage of self-funded medical plans.

A captive insurance plans is a form of self-insurance that allows companies to join together to spread the risk and predict monthly insurance costs. There are different types of captive plans that could work for your business.
