HOW IT WORKS
How the Roundstone Captive Solution Works
The Roundstone Captive enables companies to self-insure safely. With our three-tiered model, you pay for healthcare costs up to a specific deductible, you share some costs above that deductible across a pool of hundreds of other employers in the Captive, and finally, you shift costs to a stop-loss carrier to cover catastrophic claims. The Captive, with its thousands of lives, acts as an additional protective layer that absorbs risk, reduces stop-loss fixed costs, and gives smaller companies the advantages of self-insuring like the Fortune 500s.
Your new self-funded plan will have 3 cost “layers”:

CARRIER
CAPTIVE
EMPLOYER
Does this mean I have to use the same plan as the hundreds of other companies? Solution
Absolutely not. Your plan is your own. It’s customized to the individual care needs of your employees. Roundstone’s solution gives you complete flexibility in plan design. You end up with great healthcare at a lower cost. And the best part is that you can evolve and optimize your plan as you learn more from your claims data for a highly effective long-term healthcare strategy.
Who's Who in a Self-Funded Health Plan?
Self-funding is an employer-centric solution. Everyone involved is aligned around the best interests of the employer: Benefits Advisor, Roundstone, Third Party Administrator (TPA), and Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM). They work together as one integrated team to manage and administer the health plan, process claims, and make sure everything is running optimally. It’s a seamless experience.

First, you only pay for the healthcare you use — what you deserve to pay and nothing more. Any savings from the claims account stays with you.
Second, we return any unused premium from the Captive annually to employers on a pro rata basis — $10M in 2023 alone, for example. Annual distributions are based on Captive performance — not one individual company. You can still receive a distribution even if you had a bad claims year.
Third, we prefer transparent and pass-through Pharmacy Benefits Managers who send 100% of pharmacy rebates and savings back to you.
