Funding is how employers pay for employee’s benefits. We offer a full suite of funding solutions that help meet your budgeting and affordability needs and:
- Help manage risk and cash flow to fit your budget.
- Offer payment options to help achieve immediate and sustainable cost savings.
- Drive additional savings when health and wellness programs are successful.
- Drive informed plan design choices to improve affordability.
- Help maximize savings when paired with integrated products.
Types of Funding Solutions
There are two primary types of funding: Insured and Self-Funding. Please check with your broker or Cigna HealthcareSM* representative for availability based on employer size and state.
Insured Funding Solutions
In insured solutions, employers can purchase insurance that covers claims and other expenses. Cigna Healthcare offers multiple insured funding solutions based on an insurance policy.
Self-Funding Solutions
In self-funded solutions, employers pay an administrator to manage the plan while the employer funds claim expenses from their own bank accounts. Cigna Healthcare offers three self-funded solutions based on an Administrative Service Agreement.
