Plan Architecture & Funding Strategy

Plan design and funding optimization.

Detail
The problem

On a fully insured plan you buy claims, administration, and a margin the carrier keeps whether or not your people got sick. You never see the split, and you never get the claims file, so every renewal is a number you are asked to accept without the evidence behind it. How a plan is funded decides more than any program sitting on top of it, and almost nobody opens it.

What it does

Tests the plan's funding and design against the full range of alternatives · level-funded, captive, and self-funded structures with a stop-loss layer · defined-contribution and individual-coverage arrangements where they fit · transparent pass-through pharmacy contracts · dependent eligibility and payment-integrity audits · models the options against your census and claims history, then implements the one that fits the group.

Best-fit organization

Employers of any size still on a fully insured plan, or on a funding structure they inherited rather than chose. Health systems and multi-site employers with enough census to carry their own risk.

Why BenECO Uses It

Opens the layer beneath every other cost lever · Returns the claims data the diagnostic measures against · Keeps the existing broker, doctors and cards in place

Is this the right fit?
