Why Novo Connection?
Health insurance in the United States has become unaffordable and confusing for most consumers and business owners. Self-funded insurance allows businesses a way to control the rising trends of traditional, fully insured health models. Unfortunately, the current fragmented self-funded market makes it confusing and nearly impossible for employers and brokers to build effective self-funded programs that deliver true validated savings and results.
The current marketplace for unbundled self-funded solutions manifests a multitude of problems and challenges for brokers and their clients, including:
-
Complexity of self-funding which is difficult for brokers and their customers to navigate
-
Too many unvetted, ineffective solutions which are difficult to confirm from an efficacy and cost savings standpoint
-
A lack of understanding how to implement and promote usage of custom health plans
-
A lack of transparency and misaligned financial incentives
​
Additionally, successful self-funded programs require sufficient stop loss insurance to offset risk. The stop loss insurance market has its own unique set of problems and challenges, including the following:
-
Data needed for the underwriting process is not provided on time; if at all
-
Limited data is available to stop loss insurance carriers needed to ease proper risk assessment and thereby produce the most competitive price quotes possible
-
Wasted time for back in forth communication between brokers and carriers
-
Inflated quotes from insurance carriers due to lack of competition
-
High-level of lasers.
-
Leaving employers vulnerable because of a lack of compliance with transparency laws industry wide
