5. How does a self-funded plan with BryahLink differ from a fully insured plan?

In a fully insured plan, the employer pays a fixed premium to an insurance carrier, which assumes the risk. With BryahLink’s self-funded plan, the employer assumes the financial risk for providing healthcare benefits but gains more control over plan design and costs.

6. What are the risks associated with self-funding through BryahLink?

The primary risk is the potential for high claims costs. However, BryahLink mitigates these risks through stop-loss insurance, which protects against large, unexpected claims.

7. How does stop-loss insurance work in a self-funded plan with BryahLink?

Stop-loss insurance provides financial protection by capping the amount an employer has to pay for claims. BryahLink offers both individual stop-loss, which caps costs per employee, and aggregate stop-loss, which caps total claims costs for the entire group.
