Does Google actually administer the insurance plan? Usually the way it works is that they hire some traditional insurance company to administer is and then they just payout. Administering the plan themselves is very risky and has tons of compliance burden (because then Google would be a health insurance company). This means that the company doesn't have any direct control over claims, though they have substantial control over the general policy itself.
