Tired of increasing health care costs? We’re here to help you take control.

HOW DOES SELF-FUNDING WORK?

With a self-funded health plan you will enjoy far more flexibility and an opportunity to keep any savings that result when claims are lower than expected. Your plan is designed to meet the unique needs of your organization and the information you gain will help you better manage the risks and future costs of healthcare.

After careful review of your company’s needs, an appropriate amount is set for your trust fund.

Employees and employers contribute to the company fund.

When your employees receive care, the bill is paid from this fund.

Program Characteristics:

The SBG network operates as a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO). Participating providers are required to:

  • participate in and support Utilization review process
  • participate in and support Quality improvement Programs
  • meet credentialing requirements
  • accept reimbursement rates

Hospitals are required to maintain quality assurance programs and certifications. Physicians are obligated to accept fees as full payments with no balance billing for covered services. Coalition members are independent self insured health plans and maintain control of their own plan designs. Each employer member may select their own administrators and choose which SBG contract they participate in.

Repricing and Data Warehouse:

SBG has contracted to provide claims repricing at no cost to members. This agency will receive and reprice claims to assure correct contract pricing. Claims are then forwarded to the member’s administrator; electronic submission is our preferred method. This agency captures claims data and warehouses the data to support SBG’s performance incentive programs.
