Overview: In an effort towards cost savings and increased control over employee health benefits, the North Miami Beach City Council has voted to transition the city’s health insurance plan from a fully insured arrangement to a self-funded one. Eric Brewer, a representative from Corporate Synergies, presented the concept, emphasizing that the city, by self-funding, would assume the financial risk for the medical plan, rather than paying a fixed fee to an insurer like Etna. This change aims to maintain the same level of benefit plan designs for employees and their families while potentially achieving long-term affordability for the plan’s members.
