While fully insured plans work well for many organizations, others are finding they need more visibility, flexibility, and cost control. As costs sky-rocket and employee needs evolve, HR and finance leaders are exploring self-funding as a way to regain control. This model can unlock tailored plan design, cost containment strategies, and greater transparency.

Join Nava Benefits and Imagine360 for a deep dive into:

  • Self-funding and how it compares to fully insured plans
  • Reference-based pricing and how pharmacy carve-outs work
  • Key pitfalls to avoid when unbundling vendors
  • Important factors to consider when evaluating fit for your team

We’re joined by Imagine360, a leader in alternative funding strategies with deep experience helping employers navigate cost, complexity, and plan design. Their perspective brings real-world insight into how self-funding works and what it takes to do it well.

Walk away with a clearer view of your options and what it takes to make self-funding work.
