Cost Savings
Sure Savings
With self-funding, no insurance company, prepaid plan administrator, or dental corporation controls costs. The employer does. Most of the plan's dollars go for treatment: 85-95%. Traditional insurance and managed care retain 25-40% of every dollar for administration and company profits. For self-funding - even if an employer elects a third-party administrator - the typical overhead cost is about 15%. With the special DA+ plans, there are in fact no administrative fees.
