Why Employers Switch

What's in It for You

Significant Cost Savings

Employers typically save 15–30% compared to fully insured plans by eliminating carrier profit margins and accessing claims data directly.

Unbundled Plan Design

Choose best-in-class vendors for each component — network, pharmacy, stop-loss, and administration — instead of accepting one carrier's bundled package.

Full Claims Transparency

Own your data. Understand exactly where your health spend goes and make informed decisions each renewal cycle.

Stop-Loss Protection

Individual and aggregate stop-loss coverage caps your worst-case exposure, so catastrophic claims don't bankrupt your plan.

Predictable Monthly Costs

Level-funded plans spread claim funding across 12 equal monthly payments — cash-flow friendly with the upside of self-funding.

Better Employee Benefits

Savings flow back into richer plan designs — lower deductibles, broader coverage, or added perks like DPC and virtual care.

The Model

How It Works

We assemble best-in-class vendors into a cohesive, pre-built plan and handle the local relationship and implementation end-to-end.

01

Stop-Loss Insurance

Individual and aggregate coverage caps your catastrophic claim exposure.

02

TPA / Claims Admin

A third-party administrator processes claims with full transparency and reporting.

03

Network Access

National or reference-based pricing networks — employees keep their doctors.

04

Pharmacy (PBM)

Pass-through pricing and specialty care management to slash Rx costs.

Industry-Leading Partners

We've built an ecosystem of best-in-class vendors — stop-loss underwriters, pharmacy, and network solutions — at pre-negotiated rates.
