The rising cost of employee healthcare has more small employer groups choosing level funding over their traditional fully-insured health plans. What are the advantages of this option for your small business?

Cost Control and Opportunity for Savings

Level funding is a form of partial self-funding that enables the employer to budget for monthly expenses while enjoying the financial advantages that larger organizations have enjoyed for years. With level funding, the employer pays a set amount each month to cover fixed costs as well as anticipated claim costs. Stop loss insurance funds claims that exceed the employers funding limit. If claims are below the funding limit, the surplus remains in the employer’s claim fund.
