Savings through Self-funding

Self-funding saves, but how you self-fund also matters. Maximizing value calls for the right administrator… and there’s a crucial distinction between ASO organizations and the third party administration that allows MedBen to deliver real self-funded savings. 

Administrative Services Only (ASO) organizations are typically run by large insurance carriers who package their medical administration with other services operated by the same company… so if you’re “saving” money in one area, there’s a good chance you’re paying it back in another.

With MedBen third party administration (TPA), clients have the ability to select from different vendors who compete for their business. MedBen helps you build the best plan design and cost saving solutions… we help you choose the best option for you.

Self-Funding Saves

In this case study, we examine a MedBen self-funded client’s actual costs against their fully-funded maximum liability, which is often used to compare the same coverage to fully-insured rates.

Claims Management

Good claims management takes more than just auto-adjudication and getting the payment out the door. Real claims savings requires that you pay the right price only for the services necessary… and don’t get locked into contracts that prevent a thorough claims review. This is how MedBen claims management delivers.

MedBen utilizes an advanced surveillance system of thousands of physician-developed algorithms which audit claims clinically and financially.

In 2015, per-employee client savings was $13.61… which means in five years the average savings has increased by 35.2%.

Looking back to 2015, reviews saved clients 26.5%… so the current opportunities for savings have now more than doubled.

Through MedBen’s claims management strategies, clients’ claim costs per employee trended at 2.3% between 2016 and 2020.

Alternative Reimbursement Strategies

Self-funding offers employers  the flexibility and independence to better manage health care costs through alternative reimbursement strategies, like direct-to-employer contracting where health systems partner with health plans to lower cost and improve care. Or reference-based pricing that affords employers the opportunity to reimburse according to Medicare pricing.

MedBen clients who use direct-to-employer (DTE) contracting or reference-based pricing (RBP) spend on average 23.5% less than traditional PPO plans.

37% of MedBen clients now use direct-to-employer contracting or a reference-based pricing reimbursement strategy.

 Transparency is important in the pharmacy benefits world – there are too many games and hidden costs. But to save money you also need an independent pharmacy benefits manager that passes through all savings and 100% of rebates. This is rare in a world where health insurance companies use PBMs as another profit line. But it is where MedBen Rx delivers.

MedBen Rx clients spend on average 21.6% less than other PBMs.

MedBen Rx clients spend 20.0% less on average cost per script than other PBMs.
