Level-funding, a self-insurance hybrid, further enables companies to benefit from the regular and predictable cost of a fully insured plan, while only paying for the healthcare costs actually incurred by employees. This approach can potentially provide a 30 to 40 percent annual refund on health benefit costs.[ii]
All the BS about waiving the first months premium. I have been getting quotes on the level funded plans from a couple of carriers and so far I am not impressed. They are coming in at about 11% over current premium so there is just not enough savings . The plans have to come in at least at the current premium. I am also not sold on the claims funding rebate. Take a group that is spending $150,000. On a level funded plan they are going to be eligible for a rebate on 1/2 or 1/4 of the $75,000. I just don't see that rebate being big enough.
