    Tuesday 1/20/15 –   Should You Self- Fund Your Medical plan and Does a Captive Medical Plan Make Sense?

    Objective:

    An interactive educational seminar on the pros and cons of self-funding an employer’s medical plan in today’s market. We examine how self-funding may make sense for most employers including smaller companies who can now join a captive insurance plan.

    The Affordability Care Act has made it attractive for all employers to consider self- funding their medical plan. It allows employers to reduce taxes, fees, and other plan costs. A self-funded program that is set up correctly will give your members the ability to manage their network and benefit concerns. A captive medical plan allows employers to join together to help reduce risk. While not right for everyone, it can be argued that self-funding through a captive is a safe and cost effective way to cover employees.

    1. Present the pros and cons of self-funding an employer’s medical plan for employers of all sizes.

    2. Introduce and explain how employers can ban together in a medical captive to safely self-insure their medical plan.

    3. What to consider when evaluating medical services including your claims administrator, network and captive insurance program.
