Frequently Asked Questions

What is partially self-funded insurance?

With a partially self-funded insurance plan, employers pay for all employees’ eligible healthcare claims–but only those claims. That’s different from fully funded insurance plans, which typically charge a 25% margin that companies have to pay above the actual claims incurred. And unlike self-funded plans, partially self-funded plans use a reinsurance carrier, which helps limit risk and stop loss. With a partially self-funded plan, a company will never overpay for insurance ever again.

Does partially self-funded insurance make sense for my company?

Partially self-funded insurance plans are perfect for smaller companies with 100 to 500 employees or organizations paying more than $750,000 annually for health insurance. That’s because partially self-funded plans are simple to run and manage and give companies greater control over their costs, plan options, and more–all while providing access to an extensive physician network and great pharmaceutical benefits.

What’s the difference between partially self-funded and fully funded?

When most people think of health insurance, they think of fully funded insurance–the kind offered by Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, and other big-name carriers. But the plans offered by these companies are a) hard to understand; b) expensive; and c) almost always include a 25% markup that the customer doesn’t know about.

Partially self-funded plans offer all the benefits of fully funded plans without the opacity, excess costs, and headaches. With a partially self-funded plan, companies only pay for the eligible claims their employees submit, resulting in less money being spent on insurance. Unlike fully funded plans, partially self-funded plans are transparent and simple to understand and manage. In addition to offering the same benefits as fully funded plans, such as extensive physician networks and stop-loss reinsurance to mitigate risk, partially self-funded plans from EVHC provide access to home health services, virtual health options, and more.

Year 2 – Tally: We take all the data from year 1, analyze it, and optimize your plan to help you minimize risk and achieve maximum cost savings.

Year 3 – Transform: By year 3, your plan will be humming along nicely. But, we’ll continue to analyze data and make adjustments to ensure that you’re always getting the most benefits from your plan.
