Captive Benefits Strategies for Greater Control & Cost Management
Healthcare costs continue to rise, prompting many employers to explore alternatives to traditional fully insured health plans. Captive benefits programs offer a different approach — one that can provide greater transparency, more control over costs and opportunities to benefit from strong claims performance.
Many captive arrangements utilize self-funded or level-funded plan structures as part of their overall strategy. Self-funded plans allow employers to take a more active role in managing healthcare costs and claims, while level-funded plans combine predictable monthly payments with the potential for savings when claims experience is favorable. By participating in a group captive, organizations can join with other like-minded employers to share risk, gain purchasing power and access funding strategies that may not be available through traditional insurance arrangements. BCH helps organizations evaluate captive opportunities and understand how different funding approaches may support their benefits goals, workforce needs and financial objectives.
