Small group, big benefits bill? As a small business, no one needs to tell you that larger businesses (with greater buying power) typically pay less for health benefits. Case in point: Small groups paid 8 – 18 percent more than large groups for the same policy.1 We’re sharing a different story at Innovation Health, one where even the smallest of businesses can see big savings.
Self-funding: Not just for the “big guys” Larger companies have long been using self-funding to curb benefits costs. With our Funding Advantage product, small businesses can take advantage of this tactic, too. How it works: When your claims are lower than expected, you get money back in your pocket. When your claims are higher than expected, you stay protected with stop loss insurance. You also get: } Flexible plan designs } One fixed monthly payment } No state mandates (typically)
Now that’s a win-win-win situation.
Need more reasons to switch? How about three?2
} 15 percent fewer hospital admissions } 21 percent fewer readmissions } 17 percent fewer unnecessary hospital days post-surgery
These improvements were all made possible through our integrated care management model. We work side by side with doctors to understand exactly what care is needed and when. So members come first. And care and costs finally make sense.Plus: With over 1 million Aetna network providers,3 there’s a very strong chance that your members already use our network doctors. So why not take advantage of those built-in savings, too?
Say so long to the benefits squeeze
Small group health benefits don’t have to cost more. In fact, they could cost 25 percent less.**
**Additional 2 percent savings results from a permitted reduction in the stop loss premium.** Savings based upon the comparison of rates for a hypothetical Innovation Health Funding Advantage (IHFA National IHFA Open
POS II 2000 HSA 100/80 PY) case in the Northern Virginia area with rates for a comparable Innovation Health Affordable Care Act Small Group (VA IH Gold PPO 1700 100/50 HSA T) case in the Northern Virginia area for a standard 50-member group. Actual savings may be less.
