Benefit Structures for the Future
Traditional health insurance premiums are predicted to continue rising and as we enter a biennial budget year, school funding is as uncertain as ever. With so many unknowns, educational systems may want to consider alternative funding models. We invite you to learn more about the schools-only employee benefits group captive that we have developed to fit your needs. The captive model allows you to join with other forward-thinking schools to take control of your health insurance and share comparable risk. We’re here to answer your questions, and provide insight into how the captive model can help your school embrace data-driven solutions to stabilize costs, create consistency in plan design and carrier relationships, and encourage employee engagement.
