withSELF INSURANCE

1) Pre-establish with a third party provider, medical insurance that will be consistent with your previous coverage or better… We used EBMS and the Hecht Group to facilitate the program.

3) Purchase Medical CAP Insurance to safeguard the company/program from major medical at whatever level your team is comfortable… ie; $25k max
