- sjg007 9y agoI don't understand your point? These examples would have to either provide care or have contracts with providers. Cigna and your examples provide access to their networks for a management fee (where your company pays the actual costs)... So we are both calling tomatoes, tomatoes.
- URSpider94 9y agoMany large companies are self-insured. They still contract with an insurance company to provide benefits management and customer service. Even if you are self-insured, you still want to take advantage of negotiated rates with a network of providers, which today comes from insurance companies and/or HMO’s.
- chatmasta 9y agoMany large companies will “self insure” by negotiating deals with insurance companies to isolate their risk pool to their own employees. Since employee demographics are relatively homogenous compared to the general population (younger and healthier generally), large companies can offer a “win/win” in partnership with insurance companies by capturing actuarial efficiency through more precise modeling of their risk pool.
