Under a self-funded plan, the Town would pay employee health claims as they occur instead of fixed premiums to an insurance carrier, while using stop-loss insurance to limit exposure to unusually large claims. The approach could give the Town more control over plan design and allow it to retain favorable claims-year surpluses, but it would require reserves and additional financial safeguards. No implementation decision was made at this meeting.
