There is an 80% probability that a company, with 100 or more employees and a fully-insured medical plan, is over-paying for their employees’ health insurance. Based on insurance industry statistics:

– 80% of all medical claims are from as few as 10% of the covered population;

– Insurance carriers provide coverage at what they call a “composite or average price”; and

– The “composite or average price” is determined from demographic factors, and the “pooling” of claims.

Based on this information, a reasonable conclusion is that 80% of the “healthier” employee groups are subsidizing the “sickest” 20% of employee groups. This “perfect storm” often provides the opportunity for an employer to enjoy significant savings, with a properly designed self-funded medical plan.

Benefits Planning Service has over 40 years’ experience in designing self-funded medical and dental plans; and that experience unequivocally indicates that “not all self-funded health insurance plans are the same, or will produce the desired results”. We have a long track record of successfully reducing our clients’ average annual costs for employee benefits by up to 30% compared to comparable fully-insured plans.
