Self-Funded Plans For Employee Benefits

Self-funded plans let you take control of your healthcare costs, but with control comes complexity. We’re here to help you keep it simple. Matt Boray leads M3’s self-funded practice, partnering with our internal data analytics and underwriting team to provide data-driven recommendations to our self-funded clients on stop-loss coverage, prescription drug benefit management, and more.

Health Captives for Employee Benefits with M3

The health captive concept takes self-funding one step further, creating a program that allows you to join with like-minded organizations to share similar levels of risk. M3 is one of the only insurance brokers to staff a director of employee benefits captives, Jason Nordby, to keep our clients at the forefront of this innovative funding arrangement.

Employee Communication + Engagement

When your employees understand your benefits, your engagement strategy can do more than attract and retain talent – it can also influence better outcomes and drive down health care costs.

M3 staffs a director of communication, Jeff Christensen, who will help you develop a communications strategy that educates your employees on your benefit plan and helps them make the best choices for their circumstance.

Population Health & Wellbeing

Tyler Stuntebeck, M3’s population health & wellbeing manager, uses quantitative data combined with knowledge of your organization’s culture to identify wellbeing initiatives that will make an impact on your employee population – then help you measure the results.

Integrating Financial Benefits With Your Employee Benefits Strategy

M3’s in-house consultants help you achieve a comprehensive, synergistic benefits package. Programs such as health insurance, health savings accounts, and financial security are inseparable in the lives of your employees – we know that your approach to benefits should be just as aligned.

Our team of retirement plan consultants provide oversight to financial wellness strategy development and implementation, plan and benefit design consulting, investment consulting, and fiduciary risk mitigation.
