What is Level Funding?

Level Funding (Bridge Product)

BMA Offers the ultimate product for employers seeking a simple way to move from a fully insured group health plan to the benefits of a traditional self-funded medical expense benefit plan.

Level funding, also known as “The Bridge Product,” is the ideal solution for employers who would like to transition to a self-funded program. Self-funded medical expense benefit plans provide stability while offering flexibility in developing cost saving benefit plan designs.

Unlike traditional stop loss programs, Integrated Stop Loss Insurance is designed to give employers the benefits of traditional self-funding, while enjoying the ease, look and feel of a fully insured group health plan.
