MEC Enhanced Plan
from $145 per month

Advantages of choosing a self- funded MEC Enhanced plan:

​​

  • The plan meets and surpasses MEC minimums outlined in the ACA.

​​

  • As the employer you choose the employee contribution.  This can vary between part time and full time.

​​

  • The employer + employee contribution are placed in a claims account every month. When claims are submitted, your partnered Third Party Administrator (TPA) will work directly with the healthcare physicians to manage claims. 

​​

  • Self-funding a health plan is often less costly because there are no profit or risk margins to pay to an employer. In addition, there are no state-levied premium taxes. 

​​

  • As an employer, you can now offer substantial day-to day benefits while mitigating risk.  Each plan offers copays and have a maximum yearly usage( example: 4 doctors visits per year ). Having allowable maximum visits and covered services for day to day such as doctors visits, lab and diagnostics, and (1) covered urgent care visit per year will show immense value to the employee to now have an affordable option, while offering a stop-loss to the employer.

​​

  • The employer has aggregate stop loss insurance: a benefit that provides protection if at a point, the groups claims exceed a certain threshold over the course of a period of time, usually a year. This mitigates your exposure while giving you the ability to offer substantial affordable benefits to your employees.

​

  • At the end of the year, the employer retains all remaining funds in the claims account. You may choose to do whatever you would like with it, many times rolling it over to offer and allowing you to offer additional health benefits the following years such as Vision, Dental, and more.
