Dean level-funded small group plans

Providing exceptional coverage at a reasonable cost


Maximize benefits and minimize costs

Level-funded plans from Dean Health Plan are a unique solution that empowers you to manage your healthcare costs effectively, all while ensuring comprehensive coverage for your employees. This hybrid insurance model, for groups with 5 - 50 employees, combines the predictability of monthly payments with the flexibility of self-funding. One of the standout features of level funding is that half of any unused money in the claim fund is returned to the employer at the end of the year.* Offering potential cost savings that other plans can't match. 

These plans are ideal for small groups seeking to balance cost control and comprehensive coverage. Level funding offers cost containment and customization opportunities by leveraging your company's claims data and utilization patterns. Additionally, level-funded plans provide access to an integrated delivery network comparable to small group fully insured plans, ensuring that employees receive quality care while the organization maintains cost efficiency. 

Experience the best of fully and self-funded plans in one comprehensive package with level-funded group health plans.

Stop-loss insurance: protection for your health and your business

Stop-loss insurance provides a safety net, ensuring severe health claims won't jeopardize your plan's financial stability. Imagine this: if one or two members face a catastrophic illness, the high costs could strain even a small organization's health plan. We offer stop-loss coverage to shield against such losses, a crucial element in tailoring a self-funded strategy to your risk tolerance. Knowing that your plan's financial stability is protected provides a sense of security and safety. We also collaborate with other stop-loss carriers to fulfill your needs and guarantee comprehensive protection for your business.
