Health plans and networks for large companies

The larger the network, the more doctors and pharmacies in that network. But a larger network with more doctors and pharmacies also means the health plan may cost more. 

Looking to control your employee plan costs while getting the most value? Use our employer solutions to optimize your network and strengthen the foundation of your workforce’s health plan.

Health plan funding options

When you choose fully insured, we'll underwrite your group’s medical expenses, as well as provide full administrative services. This is the simplest, most effort-free health plan coverage option for businesses.  

Benefits: 

  • A simple monthly premium  
  • Predictable and stable health care costs 
  • Peace of mind, ease and convenience – we handle the details 
  • Health benefits without claims cost risks 

This funding option offers groups with at least 20 eligible employees the advantages of a self-funded plan with the financial protection and predictable monthly payments of a fully insured plan.

Benefits: 

  • Potential savings that can come from self-funding 
  • Predictable monthly rates, similar to a fully insured plan 
  • Integrated stop-loss coverage 
  • Money-back opportunities 

Our self-funded option offers control and flexibility in plan design for large businesses (more than 100 full time employees). Self-funded, or Administrative Services Only (ASO), arrangements allow the business to fund their own health benefits and claims while Blue Cross NC provides all or some administrative services. 

Benefits: 

  • Stop-loss insurance to limit potential claims losses 
  • Flexibility in plan design 
  • More control over cash flow
