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.
The filing says this plan is subject to the Form M-1 requirement for multiple-employer welfare arrangements.
Benefits declared on this filing
Dental: UNITED CONCORDIA INSURANCE COMPANY covers 181 of 6,758 participants (2.7%) on Schedule A.
Life: DEARBORN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY covers 245 of 6,758 participants (3.6%) on Schedule A.
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.
Where a line has more than one insured contract, the carrier and the covered figure are the largest contract's by premium. The contracts are not added up: a pharmacy carve-out and the medical carrier beside it cover the same people.
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 6 insured contracts covering health, dental, vision, life and stop-loss; the largest, with HIGHMARK INC., covers 7,069 people.
The medical plan carries stop-loss coverage: the filing reports the plan paying its own health claims, with insured protection against large ones.
Reported premium across the insured contracts is $3,976,986, with $115,104 in disclosed broker commissions — about 2.9% of premium.
The most recent policy period ended in April, and the plan year ends April 1. Group contracts typically renew on that annual cycle.
TEAM SCOTTI is the broker of record on 5 of the 6 contracts; the rest name a different broker or none.
