Companies looking to take more control over their healthcare costs may choose to adopt self-funded plans, where they trade fixed insurance rates for direct payment of claims. While employers are forced to assume more risk for occasional hefty charges, they gain flexibility and tighter control over how their healthcare dollars are used. Not only can companies avoid excess spending that would otherwise end up as profit for insurance companies, but they also qualify for lower tax rates than other health plans, saving costs across the board.
