Self-Funding Solved
Providing transparency in employee benefits financing.
The Value of VERIS
VERIS is an employer’s health benefits solution. Consultant-driven and designed for the long-term, VERIS allows groups to see exactly what they’re paying for each year – and retain anything they don’t use. VERIS is not a captive and is powered by Benecon’s independent consortium risk model, with no group unfairly subsidizing another. Once a group is part of VERIS they are guaranteed renewable with rate caps, no new lasers and no re-underwriting – ever.
Each VERIS group maintains its own claim fund account and does not commingle risk, but benefits from Benecon’s stop loss purchasing power.
Once a group is part of VERIS, they can’t be kicked out of the program for a “bad” claims year.
Benecon’s independent actuaries set the rates and come to the most appropriate claim fund projections, not the carriers.
Once a group is part of VERIS, there is no re-underwriting; which means no lasers at renewal.
