Level Funding

For businesses with 5-99 employees

A smarter way to control your healthcare costs while providing quality coverage. Level Funding gives you the predictability of a fully insured plan with the potential financial benefits of self-funding, all backed by Blue KC’s award-winning local support.

Level Funding ASO, a smart alternative, on every level

Our Level Funding Administrative Services Only (ASO) options provide a cost-effective, customized alternative to traditional, fully insured small group health plans. We’ll help you evaluate your maximum claims risk and then blend specific and aggregate stop-loss insurance to create level funding you can budget for each month.

How it works

Your monthly level funded payment to Blue KC includes both administrative costs and stop-loss insurance, plus claims funding. Your maximum annual claims, including claims run-out liability, are predetermined, creating predictable costs that are easier to manage. 

Employees can elect from flexible coverage levels:

  • Employee and family
  • Employee only
  • Employee and spouse
  • Employee and children

ChamberCHOICE

Give your employees the power to choose with ChamberCHOICE. This defined contribution model allows you to provide employees with a health insurance allowance to spend on their healthcare. It’s a win-win because employees get to select the plan that fits their needs while you maintain control over your annual costs.

ChamberCHOICE Level Funding ASO plans offer an excellent alternative to traditional, fully insured small group health plans. Just like our standard Level Funding options, we’ll help you evaluate your maximum claims risk and then blend specific and aggregate stop-loss insurance to create level funding you can budget for each month.

Important: Self-funded plan group responsibilities

Offering a Self-Funded Group Health Plan has many unique benefits, but also comes with additional responsibilities. Blue KC recommends that employers work with legal counsel to ensure they are able to fully fulfill the obligations. Below is a list of helpful resources.
