Faced with escalating insurance costs, many small to midsize businesses (SMBs) feel trapped when it comes to providing employee health benefits, thinking options are limited or change is too risky. Changing providers is often complicated, and with only a handful of big-name insurers to choose from, it can feel like you’re being tossed around in a storm with no safe harbor in sight.

The Lifeline in Action: How Our Medical Group Captives Work
Navigating health insurance can be challenging, but Roundstone Insurance offers a refreshing alternative that brings together the best of flexibility, affordability, and hands-on control — elements often missing when dealing with traditional insurance.
What Is a Group Captive?
A group captive insurance model essentially reimagines the insurance approach. Rather than paying fixed premiums to an external insurance company, organizations use self-funded insurance, setting aside funds in anticipation of future claims.
A group captive is a shared insurance pool, where every captive member contributes funds to a shared savings account for healthcare costs.
This model prioritizes transparency, giving direct insight into businesses’ healthcare expenses and offering flexibility and control over costs. This provides a clear view of where their money goes and more say in how it’s used.
How Does a Group Medical Captive Work?
Roundstone’s group medical captive adapts the group captive insurance model for healthcare. By bringing together multiple employers, we create a collective insurance pool that offers the advantages typically reserved for big corporations. Roundstone created the industry’s first group captive for self-funded insurance in 2005.
Our innovative approach creates more efficiency, better scaling, and cost-effective health insurance options, making it easier for all businesses to navigate the healthcare landscape.
Here’s how it works: When you join a group captive, we help you build a plan with specific coverages tailored to your unique needs. As part of the captive, you set aside funds in the group pool to pay for standard services. You are also protected by stop-loss insurance against catastrophic or high claims.
Our cost containment teams and claims dashboard provide real-time insights and data transparency, helping you understand spending patterns and make changes at any time. This approach ensures efficiency and makes navigating the healthcare landscape easier and more predictable.

Captive participants pay only for the healthcare they use, and the beauty of this model is that unspent captive premium dollars are distributed back to them every year. We guarantee that you’ll save money when you use our self-funded program — in five years of using Roundstone’s model, you’ll save money over a traditional insurance package, or we make up the difference.
In fact, two-thirds of our customers save enough in the first four years to cover claims for their fifth year.
We’ve given back an astounding $72 million to our participants over the last 20 years — funds that traditional insurance models would have kept in their own pockets.
