Making the Switch to a Self-Funded Health Plan
Some businesses believe that they have no choice when it comes to employee health benefits. Or they think that making a change is complicated and risky. So they stay with their current insurance company, and accept a double digit cost increase each year.
We believe you deserve a better – and smarter – alternative in company healthcare: The Roundstone self-funded health insurance solution, a group medical captive.
How Self-Funding Captive Insurance Works
Self-funding is more flexible, cost-effective, and provides greater control and visibility into cost-drivers compared to traditional insurance.
For small to mid-size companies, however, self funded insurance has not always been a practical choice for company healthcare. Roundstone makes it possible with the pooling of many employers in our group medical captive, the first of its kind. Since 2005, we have proven that banding employers together to achieve the efficiency and scale of a larger organization is the better way.
Our Guarantee to You
Two-thirds of our customers save enough in their first four years with us to pay the claims for their entire fifth year. And 100% save money, full stop.
You will save money in the first five years or we’ll make up the difference. That’s our guarantee to you.
Watch and see how Roundstone helps employers provide better healthcare at a lower cost.

What Our Customers Say
Quality of care for our employees is a top priority. But we also want to keep savings as high as we can, so we can extend more benefits to our employees. Being able to access data has allowed us to tweak the plan where we need to show us real savings. When it came time for the last open enrollment, it was a much more palatable open enrollment number than it would have been if we were fully funded.
“We really wanted to improve the quality of care for our employees. It's neat to see your employees embrace the plan, learn how to navigate it and get things taken care of that they may have been ignoring. We’ve got great feedback from employees and good utilization rates. It’s been very exciting for them.”
We're both a benefits advisor and a Roundstone customer. Experiencing the benefits first hand of this higher quality health insurance plan, gives us added confidence and credibility with our own clients as we help them to navigate their own journey to self funded.
