Services - Major Medical Insurance Management
With all the new developments in this critical
employee benefit, there are some exciting opportunities to provide employees great
benefits at significant cost savings to employers. Companies with less than 50 employees
have less options but employers with more than 50 employees can take control of
this all critical employee benefit and compete with Fortune 100 employers.
Major medical insurance is being revolutionized under the Affordable Health Care
Act. There are limits on what insurance companies can charge for their services
and for the first time in history insurance companies have refunded premium money
to insureds in 2011 and 2012 plan years. They have to limit their charges to 20%
of premium collected.
This is a significant change that drastically cuts into their profits. Risk coverage
and claims paid should be at least 80% of premium collected. For employers with
more than 50 employees, it is now possible to design and offer plans that meet the
needs of employee demographics with deductibles and maximum out of pocket limits
that work for the team. Health Savings Account compliant plans offer employees the
opportunity to save over $2,000 in taxes - potentially covering more than the average
family medical charges. The resultant savings to employers is significant as well.
Affordable Health Care Act allows 20% of premium towards administrative and management
costs, companies can do better than that. Our plans do this at an average of 7%
of total premium charges.
Risk can be managed at a competitive cost. Depending on company size and employee
demographics, this is optimized.
Claims adjudicated through strong network agreements keeps claims at lowest levels,
with best network of service providers.
Overall costs over 3-5 years can be almost flat or reduced.
Savings through consistent management will be retained by employers, this is an
amazing benefit. For more information and to schedule a meeting call us on (703)
