There are many reasons a company may determine that it makes sense to self-fund its dental plans. When compared to traditional fully-insured plans, self-funded programs can offer several advantages including: - Control over benefit offerings
- Control over rates and funding options
- Elimination of state-mandated requirements
- Flexibility in offering multiple plan choices
- Reduced fixed expenses
- Control over unbundled components
- Custom reporting
- Improved claims management and control
