How this plan is funded
Fully insured as reported
The filing reports medical coverage through an insurance contract on Schedule A, and no money paid for benefits by the plan itself.
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
Vision: the largest of the 5 insured vision contracts, with HMO ILLINOIS, covers 218 of 3,743 participants (5.8%) on Schedule A.
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.
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 24 insured contracts covering health, dental, vision, life, disability and stop-loss; the largest, with RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, covers 2,804 people.
The filing lists a stop-loss contract. On its own that does not settle whether the plan pays its own claims.
Reported premium across the insured contracts is $35,774,796, with $1,653,067 in disclosed broker commissions — about 4.6% of premium.
The most recent policy period ended in December, and the plan year ends December 31. Group contracts typically renew on that annual cycle.
AON CONSULTING, INC. -ATLANTA is the broker of record on 1 of the 24 contracts; the rest name a different broker or none.
