Cost-Effective Employee Benefits Solutions
We work with all major carriers and represent clients who are fully-insured, self-insured, or self-insured through a group medical (health) captive. Before making recommendations for any plan, our team of professionals will do an employee benefits analysis of your current plan. Then, we provide financial modeling which helps you calculate the financial impact of cost-sharing, plan changes, and various enrollment scenarios.
Plus, our team works on behalf of our clients throughout the year – not just when we’re negotiating their benefit plans. To have a significant impact on managing and controlling costs, you must identify actionable areas in which you can make effective changes. We routinely monitor claims activity, pharmacy spending, and utilization data. We are also fierce negotiators and are always willing to go the extra mile for our clients.
A Group Medical Captive May Be a Great Option for You
InCap®, our group health medical captive solution, is specifically designed to lower benefit costs for employers while still maintaining the value of their benefit plan. Since the solution’s inception, our self-funded InCap clients have saved approximately $38 million in total claims costs, compared to if they had remained fully-insured. A captive insurance plan provides the opportunity for dividend distribution. If your claims are low and the amount spent for health premiums is lower than projected for a given year, the excess funds are returned to you. Unlike other firms, Clark & Lavey does not charge any sort of fee to determine whether a captive solution would be financially advantageous for you. So, if you’re considering a captive insurance plan, contact us today!
