Medical Captives and Self-Insurance Programs
While many employers continue to be fully-insured by the escalating costs of providing healthcare coverage, state-mandated benefits and state laws are making it more difficult for employers, and the trend continues to be for mid-sized and large employers to move or consider alternative or self-funding their health plan.
Alera Group is highly experienced in working with employers who are seeking an alternative solution to the fully insured market, double-digit increases, and constantly changing benefit provisions. We have successfully worked with employers on adopting a number of alternative strategies including;
- Partial Self-Funding with HRA or HSA programs
- Level-Funding Program
- Self-Funded program
- Medical Captives
Medical Captives – a prescription for success now and tomorrow
A group medical captive can be an excellent way for employers who are already self-funding their health plan or those just dipping their toes into the water. The benefits of participating in a group health captive include:
- Control over your plan’s benefits design
- Avoidance of unanticipated rate increases, future predictive analysis included
- Transparency with costs, health and utilization data
- No back-and-forth plan negotiation
- Pooling of claims to reduce volatility and improve cash flow
- Retention of underwriting profit and investment income and claims savings.
Alera Group of Sacramento has years of experience with captives and a proven record of success. We evaluated a number of captive management firms before selecting Roundstone Insurance as our preferred captive partner. Their reputation as a leader in captive management is above reproach and provides transparency not offered with other firms. They have a history of success in the marketplace and their most recent distribution of profits to captive participants is a testament to their experience in delivering results.
