Corporate wellness magazine released an article that covers 5 of the biggest advantages that the self-funded health coverage route can potentially provide to your company. 

At the top of the list of self-funding benefits is cost savings via the elimination of middlemen margins. Plan customization is another major benefit that self-funded plans have over traditional plans, since the employer has the power to shape the offerings precisely to the needs of their actual employee pool. Access to claims data is another major advantage when it comes to shaping those customizations, which in turn enables employers to build comprehensive wellness plans that further increase employee engagement and improve outcomes, lowering expenditures across the board.
