Anyone who\u2019s ever been to Chicago knows \u2013 the best cure for the blues is the blues.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But as anyone who attended Roundstone\u2019s Medical Captive Forum 2023 knows, the best cure for the healthcare blues is self-funded insurance with the Roundstone Captive.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Talk to employers. Talk to HR. Talk to employees. The problem couldn\u2019t be more obvious. People are getting squeezed by skyrocketing healthcare premiums. America\u2019s healthcare crisis is only getting worse<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Employers feel it when they get hit with 20% renewal increases year after year. HR feels frustrated as they struggle to offer attractive benefits<\/span><\/a> to retain employees and attract top talent. Employees feel the pinch as the rising cost of insurance increasingly drains away their paychecks<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the fully insured world, nobody\u2019s happy<\/span><\/a> \u2013 except maybe the traditional insurance companies reaping enormous profits off an exceptionally squeezed market.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Last week in Chicago, roughly 300 guests to MCF 2023 explored our innovative alternative solution that\u2019s affordable and could actually improve the quality of care provided to employees: self-funded health insurance with Roundstone\u2019s Group Medical Captive.<\/p>\n

Our Mission: Affordable, High-Quality Healthcare for All<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

For our 8th annual MCF, we moved the event from Cleveland to Chicago because the enthusiasm for self-funded insurance continues to grow. Roundstone\u2019s Group Medical Captive model enables small to midsize companies to take advantage of the affordability of the self-insurance model. You only pay what you deserve for the insurance you actually use.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The theme of this year\u2019s MCF was Mission Possible. Providing high-quality, affordable care is truly possible through a self-insured solution<\/span><\/a> with Roundstone\u2019s Group Medical Captive.<\/p>\n

We started the show off early on Wednesday with our annual Roundstone Advisory Council, a special meeting with our growth advisor partners. We were honored to meet with them and share updates on Roundstone developments, successes, and goals. Everyone joined various roundtables and discussed an eclectic range of issues happening in self-funded insurance. We capped the evening off with cocktails and dinner on a sunset cruise down the Chicago River.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thursday afternoon began with lunch followed by our Captive Participant Meeting. Members of Roundstone\u2019s Captive and their benefits advisors attended educational sessions about the importance of hiring a quality TPA, the savings of cost containment solutions, and tips to optimize your plan document.<\/p>\n
