Considering a self-funded employee benefits plan but feel held back by prevalent myths? Let’s set the record straight and simplify the path to a more tailored benefits approach:

Myth 1: “Self-funding is only for large companies.”

Reality: There is a reason the largest companies are self-funded—because it is cost-effective, but smaller businesses can also thrive with self-funding. With meticulous planning and the right stop-loss coverage, you pay only for the healthcare services your employees actually use, potentially lowering costs.

Myth 2: “Self-funding is too risky.”

Reality: Limit your financial exposure with a well-structured plan and the strongest contractual terms. Stop-loss insurance protects against high-cost claims, balancing risk and enhancing benefits without surprises.

Myth 3: “It's too complicated to manage self-funded plans.”

Reality: Complexity is no match for expert guidance. A seasoned benefits consultant makes managing self-funded plans clear and manageable, providing comprehensive support from plan design to ensuring compliance.
