How this plan is funded
Self-funded as reported
The filing reports benefits paid from the plan's own money, and no medical insurance contract on Schedule A.
A stop-loss policy appears on a Form 5500 only when the plan itself is the beneficiary, or the premiums are paid from plan money. Many employers buy stop-loss and never report it here. So a plan with no stop-loss on its filing may still have it.
Benefits declared on this filing
One contract on this filing does not say which benefits it covers, so a line above may be insured by it.
Also declared: death benefits.
Declared benefits are the plan’s own line 8b codes on Form 5500. “Not on Schedule A” means no insured contract for that line appears on this filing. That usually means the benefit is self-funded, or it sits under a different plan number.
Persons covered is the count the carrier filed for that policy at the end of its policy year, and it can include dependents. Participants is the plan's own count at the start of its plan year. The two count different people, so a covered figure can be larger.
Plan brief
Schedule A lists 3 insured contracts covering vision and stop-loss; the largest, with BCBS INSURANCE, covers 1,272 people.
The filing declares vision, health, dental, life and disability. Health, dental, life and disability appear with no insured contract on Schedule A. That coverage may be self-funded, placed with a carrier that is not on this filing, or written on the contract here that does not say what it covers.
The only insured piece of the health benefit is stop-loss coverage, and the filing reports the plan paying its own claims. The stop-loss contract reports $549,934 in premium and $0 in commission. The rest of the premium and commission above is on the plan's other insured lines, and none of it is medical premium.
Reported premium is $725,102; the filing discloses no broker commission on these contracts.
The most recent policy period ended in September, and the plan year ends September 30. Group contracts typically renew on that annual cycle.
