iii. FAQ
Frequently asked.
- What's the difference between fully-insured and level-funded health insurance?
- Fully-insured: you pay a fixed monthly premium, the carrier takes the risk. Level-funded: you pay a fixed amount that includes claims fund + admin + stop-loss insurance — and get a refund if claims come in low. Self-funded: you pay actual claims plus admin and reinsurance. Level-funded is the sweet spot for many 50–200 employee Texas groups.
- When should I switch brokers?
- If your broker isn't running an annual RFP, isn't proactively bringing alternatives at renewal, or isn't responsive when employees have claim issues — that's the signal. We make broker-of-record changes painless.
- Do you handle multi-state employer groups?
- Yes — we coordinate Texas as the home state with carrier networks that extend across the U.S. for remote and traveling employees.
- What's included in your service for large groups?
- Annual renewal RFP, mid-year claims monitoring, employee onboarding & open enrollment support, COBRA admin, ACA 1095 reporting, ERISA wrap documents, Section 125 cafeteria plan setup, and ongoing employee escalations.
