Employee Benefits
Employee health benefits are benefits offered by and often paid for by an employer. When an employee is hired, they may become qualified to receive certain benefits from the employer. Health benefits is just one of the many types of benefits you can get from an employer.
Claims Analysis
At Distefano Insurance Services, Inc., our team will conduct annual claims analyses, or more frequently if requested, to help you visualize how employees are using your health care plans and identify areas of high utilization. Then, we’ll use this data to prepare a health care strategy for you for years to come, including new health plan designs, educational materials, and general guidance.
Fully Insured
If you’re looking to offer a group health plan to your employees, you’ve probably heard of the terms “fully insured” and “self-insured.” These terms describe the two main types of health insurance plan designs that employers can offer their employees. In some cases, these plans may be referred to as “fully funded” or “self-funded” plans, respectively. A plan design that combines the two is known as a level-funded plan.
Self-Funding
A self-insured health plan is one in which the employer assumes the financial risk associated with providing health care benefits to its employees. Rather than paying fixed premiums to an insurance company in exchange for claims assistance, the employer pays for medical claims out of pocket as they arise with a self-insured plan.

Fully Insured
A fully insured health plan is the more traditional way to structure an employer-sponsored health plan. With a fully insured health plan, the company pays a premium to the insurance carrier. The premium rates are fixed for a year, based on the number of employees enrolled in the plan each month.
Self-Funding
A self-insured (or self-funded) plan is one in which the employer assumes the financial risk for providing health care benefits to its employees. In practical terms, self-insured employers pay for each out-of-pocket claim as they are incurred instead of paying a fixed premium to an insurance carrier.

Group Health Insurance
Group health insurance is a type of health coverage that is offered by an employer or other entity (such as a union or professional association) to its employees or members. The employer or entity typically pays a portion of the insurance premium, and the rest is often deducted from the employee’s paycheck.
Group Life Insurance
Life insurance is a crucial part of financial planning, and when offered by an employer, it becomes part of an employee’s comprehensive benefits package. Group Life Insurance is one such offering that employers can provide to their employees.
