Benefits with Friends - E7 with Tim Ott

Benefits with Friends - The Rise of the American Healthcare Consumer

Listen as my guest Tim Ott of Roundstone and I discuss self funding, stop loss and medical group captives. Roundstone captive is an innovative and proven funding model that effectively shares risk and offers transparency, flexibility, and significant cost-savings over traditional fully-insured programs. Founded in 2003, Roundstone came together because of a shared belief in quality, affordable healthcare for all. The evolving healthcare industry has brought opportunities for benefit plan stakeholders to come together and develop plans that not only address cost containment, but also enhance their employee value proposition through more robust benefit offerings

Roundstone helps small and midsize companies deliver high-quality, affordable health benefits that attract and retain the best employees. They do this through their self-funded health insurance solution that leverages a group medical captive, the first of its kind. The captive bands together employers in a pool so they can have the same scale and resources of a large company. Lou and Tim will discuss the core functions of a medical captive and how the world of alternative funding is changing rapidly.
