About Self-Funding
Basically, under a traditional fully insured
plan, the insurer keeps the profits if there are no medical claims
or few claims. Under a self insured health plan, the employer
receives all or part of the employer owned account when claims are
below the account balance.
When claims exceed the employers account
balance, the insurance company pays all eligible claims for the
reminder of the calendar year.
Additionally, self-funded plans are not
subject to many of the state mandates which drive up the cost of
health care.
