Only pay for what you use…
The UBA Health plan Consortium brings greater transparency and cost savings to employer-sponsored health insurance plans. The Consortium allows employers to self-fund their plan in a way that protects them in a bad year, but provides significant upside through surplus retention in the years the plan is running well.
You can’t predict when high claims will hit, but you CAN position yourself to manage these “bad years” without facing catastrophic renewals.
This program allows employers to take back control from the insurance carriers, provide a great benefit for their employees, and still only pay for what they use.

HOW IT WORKS
MANAGEMENT SUPPORT & VALUE ADDS
Favorable Claims Year
-
- Excess premium retained by the carrier
- Renewals do not reflect favorable experience
Unfavorable Claims Year
-
- Renewal offers are punitive – 30% to 50%+ premium increases
- Carrier renewal strategy is to “run off the risk”
- Lack of transparency (minimal data) makes renewal negotiations difficult
- Primary renewal strategy is to change carriers, creating employee disruption
- Plan design erosion
- Development of a long-term plan strategy is impossible
- Lack of rate stability creates a scramble to find lower rates
- Removes plan control from the insurance carrier and places it back with the employer
- Aggregate purchasing power of the consortium allows the employer to….
- Achieve full transparency into plan performance
- Capture underwriting savings in favorable claims year
- Achieve stability with rate caps during unfavorable claims year
- Leverage superior risk protection to develop a long-term plan strategy
- Allows an employer formally considered too small to safely self-fund
