Alternative Funding and Data Driven Strategy

9:00 – 9:45 AM PT | 12:00 – 12:45 PM ET


About This Event
Rising health insurance costs and limited visibility into what’s really driving your claims can make budgeting and planning feel unpredictable. This practical webinar is designed for HR leaders, benefits managers, and finance professionals who want more control and clarity in their employee benefits strategy.
Join IMA’s data and alternative risk experts for a conversation on funding approaches that can improve cost stability, increase transparency, and support long-term savings.
You’ll learn how to:
- Evaluate alternative funding options, including self-funding, and understand how they compare to traditional fully insured plans
- Determine whether self-funding is a strong fit for your organization based on size, cash flow, and risk tolerance
- Leverage captives and group programs to improve cost predictability and share risk
- Use your own claims data to identify cost drivers and guide smarter decisions
- Apply a practical, step-by-step framework to build a more effective health plan strategy
