Self-Funded Opportunity Grows
The Affordable Care Act
Increases Interest in Self-Funded Plans:
Health Plans once offered to Management and salaried employees only must be
offered to the balance of the workforce scaling up the employers count of employees
As a result, small groups become large groups and become
excellent candidates for self-funded plans
82% of Health Executives
expressed a growing interest in
self-funding their group health
insurance plans
70% of health organizations
were expecting to grow their
self-funding portfolios in 2015

Drivers for Self-Funded Increases
Health Insurance Premiums are Increasing at an unsustainable rate
• Employees pay 89% more for family health care premiums then they did a
decade ago.
• In 2013, premiums rose 4% but that was still twice the rate of wages.
• According to a 2011 Department of Labor report fully-insured premiums
increased by $808 and self-funded premiums increased by $248
Paradigm Health Plans average premium renewal
increase for clients is less that 3.5%
