Group Health Insurance Plans Health Insurance for Employees - Unspent Captive Premium Dollars to be Returned 17%

Improve Your Company Health Insurance Plan

Captive insurance is a company health insurance program that provides coverage for, and is controlled by, its owners. Captive programs can be formed by a single company or by groups of companies and associations. Through Hilb’s InCap health care captive program, we have seen companies realize savings of 12% – 15% in the first year. Besides cost savings, our company health program helps lower health premium costs while also providing:

  • Control of your plan’s benefits design
  • Avoidance of unanticipated rate increases
  • Transparency in data, cost, and communications
  • No burdensome plan negotiation
  • Pooling of claims to control volatility and cash flow
  • Retention of underwriting profit and investment income

Improve Cash Flow with InCap®, our Captive Insurance Program

As a CEO or CFO, you understand the benefit of additional cash flow. Through Hilb’s InCap® health care captive program, you will gain an additional means of cash flow. InCap works differently than fully-insured plans from insurance carriers who keep the plan’s annual profit. Instead, InCap members receive the annual profit from unused claims, which you’d then be able to use for other areas of your business. Click here to learn how much profit we’ve distributed through our InCap program.

Already in a Captive Program?

If you are already a member of a captive program, consider the benefits that InCap may provide over your current company health insurance plan. First of all, what is your captive’s retention level? We place 69% percent of the stop-loss premium in the captive, which has a retention of $500,000. This is significantly higher than other captive plans and may be higher than your current captive plan. Additionally, does your captive plan take expenses out of the shared layer? Because InCap does not!

Frequently Asked Questions

No, most employers can transition to the same insurance carrier they had before. Additionally, our cost-containment strategies and wellness programs strengthen the quality of employee benefits. For example, through wellness partners who are nationally recognized many have seen a significant reduction in their Medical Loss Ratio (MLR), effectively lowering their claims experience, and ultimately their health premium costs. Which in turn, means healthier and happier employees. Also, our plan includes telehealth which significantly improves an employee’s accessibility to physical and mental healthcare. Our HR Practice Leaders are also available to guide you in enhancing your employee benefits.
Most CFO professionals we work with found that the first year was the most time-consuming. Like learning anything new, it takes time, but that is why our Benefits Advisors and CFO Practice Leaders are available to assist you.

Having control of your benefits plans can be rewarding for you and your company's employees.

Your Benefits Advisor will compile all the data for you and present it. We work hard to make the information accessible and applicable so you can pull the right levers. Additionally, our experts help guide Finance teams so they work symbiotically.
