How we know · medium confidence
  • The filing says benefits are paid from the employer's general assets.
  • Medical insurance bought from Kaiser Permanente is on file, covering about 1,595 people.
  • We ignored 1 low-cost supplemental policy(ies) such as accident or hospital cover; they don't decide how your medical claims are handled.
  • We ignored a small insurance contract with Health Alliance Plan covering about 158 people; it is too small to be the main plan.
  • Medical insurance is on file, but the plan also pays benefits from the employer's own money, so some options are likely self-funded.
  • The insured options cover only about 4% of the 42,758 participants, so most people in this plan are in the self-funded part.

Double-check in 30 seconds: “Self-funded”, “administered by” or “ASO” on your card or plan summary means self-funded. “Insured by” or “underwritten by” means insured.
