Is Self-Funding Right for Your Organization?

Many mid-sized employers assume self-funding is only for large corporations. That's an outdated assumption — and it's costing them.

Today, level-funded and self-funded strategies are viable for employers with as few as 25–50 employees. The question is not whether you're big enough. The question is whether your organization's financial profile, claims history, and risk tolerance make it the right fit.

Core Benefits conducts rigorous, unbiased funding analysis to answer that question with data — not assumptions.
