The Defend Plans
Safe and Simple Fixed-Cost Self-Funded Medical Coverage plus Refund Assisters
Heads You Win. Tails You Don’t Lose.
That’s why more small and mid-size businesses are switching to fixed-cost, self-funded medical plans.
Fully-Insured Coverage
With traditional fully-insured coverage, employers pay a lump sum to a carrier. There’s no further premium obligation regardless of the claims incurred by employees and their dependents. When claims are less than expected the carrier keeps the difference.
Fixed-Cost Self-Funded
With fixed-cost self-funded medical plans, employers pay a lump sum to a third party administrator. There’s no further payment obligation regardless of the claims incurred by employees and their dependents. When claims are less than expected, however, employers receive the surplus. All of it.
