MedBen offers peace of mind to small- and mid-sized businesses with insurance plans that take a personalized approach to group health benefits. MedBen Managed Care, our comprehensive preferred provider plan, allows employers to create a plan that meet their needs as well as the needs of their employees. A high-deductible health plan option offers reduced premiums while giving employees greater benefits responsibility. In addition, employers interested in split-funding their health insurance can take advantage of the savings available through our MedBen Split Solution program.

MedBen Managed Care
MedBen Managed Care combines the most desirable characteristics of traditional indemnity insurance with the cost advantages of a preferred provider organization (PPO).

In addition to choice, MedBen Managed Care offers incentives for participants to take a more active role in controlling and reducing their own medical expenses when appropriate. Those who use network providers have the advantage of lower negotiated pricing. The 20% coinsurance differential encourages individuals to utilize preferred hospitals and physicians. 

Above all, MedBen Managed Care offers businesses of all sizes the same attention, cost effectiveness and high-quality service traditionally available only to larger companies.

The High-deductible Option
In addition to the standard deductible options, employers can also offer MedBen Managed Care as a high-deductible health plan (HDHP), with an annual employee deductible of at least $2,000 for singles ($4,000 for families), plus the option of a maximum coinsurance limit. Employers who elect an HDHP qualify by IRS guidelines to offer a Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) or a Health Savings Account (HSA) to their employees. Contributions to these accounts can be applied to the HDHP deductible and other qualified medical expenses, or saved toward retirement. MedBen offers HRA administration and can assist you with HSA set-up services.

MedBen Split Solution
To realize even greater savings from MedBen Managed Care, consider the advantages of split-funding with our MedBen Split Solution option. With the Split, your organization pays employee claims up to an established maximum. At that point, MedBen pays any remaining claims costs up to the certificate maximums for the plan year. Lower costs and greater employer control make Split Solution the ideal solution for employers with 20 to 150 medically eligible employees.
