3. Advantages of Self Funding 1. Improved Cash Flow Employers improve cash flow when money formerly prepaid to the insurance company and held in the form of various reserves (such as unreported and pending claims) is freed for use by the employer. Self-funded plans only pay administrative fees and stop-loss premiums in advance. Claims are funded by the employer as they are paid by the administrator, typically 30-90 days after medical care is received. 2. Cost Savings Fixed costs of a self-funded plan are normally less than those of a conventional fully-insured plan Elimination of most State Premium Taxes: In most states there is no premium tax for the self-funded plans (usually 2-3% of monthly insurance premiums). Only the stop-loss insurance is subject to the premium tax, which is a fraction of the fully-insured premium. Lower Administrative Overhead: Generally a TPA’s administrative costs are much lower than a traditional insurance carrier because they do no have the overhead of a large corporate structure. Retain Reserves When the Plan Has a Good Year: An employer saves money when the plan’s claims experience is better than expected. Their experience is only based on their own population, and not pooled with other employers, who may have poor claims experience. At the same time, the employer is protected (stop-loss) in the event that the plan’s expenses are greater than expected. 3. Increased Control Plan Design Flexibility: Under ERISA, self-funded plans are exempt from state regulation. Therefore, an employer may establish uniform benefits for employees in different states, eliminating the need to comply with state mandates, taxes, and assessment. Furthermore, an employer has the flexibility to determine the appropriate plan design that will meet his own needs, and the plan can be amended at any time to eliminate abuses, if they are encountered. Service Flexibility: In a self-funded plan, the employer has increased PPO network and Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) choices, in addition to various other vendors. Additionally, Health Management strategy can be tailored to meet the unique goals of each client.
