Self-funding for healthcare benefits comes with risks and benefits. While your organization gains program control, flexibility in plan design, and more predictability in costs, you’re at greater risk for high cost claims, specifically from cancers and musculoskeletal conditions. If you’re wondering how to manage this issue, you’re not alone. A recent Mercer survey revealed that “managing high cost claimants is the top benefits strategy U.S. employers will be focusing on for the next five years.”

On-site health centers are quickly becoming the solution that many insurance brokers are turning to in order to help their clients increase the productivity, health, and retention of their employees, while at the same time reducing healthcare claims and direct costs.
Brokers play an important role in the process of on-site health center adoption. They are often the catalyst for adoption as they understand how the benefit plan structure and the on-site health center can work together to drive engagement and results (reduced cost of healthcare) for the employer. Onsite health services increase access to care, provide high quality care, and improve the benefits mix offered to the employees, all while helping the employer’s bottom line. Using this approach, for example, the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government saved $24 million by adding this benefit for city and county employees.
