Group Purchasing

Reduce risk and cost by leveraging the law of large numbers and group purchasing options.

Put the Law of Large Numbers to Work

Group purchasing is a way for smaller businesses to use collective purchasing power to secure lower prices. By sharing cost and liability, you decrease your overall risk. Join with your peers to make a group that is highly attractive to insurance carriers — and improve your leverage in negotiations.

Employee Benefit Captives

Derisk your benefits plan by leveraging the law of large numbers by teaming up with other organizations of a similar size to group your employees together.

Self-Funded Medical Insurance

Eliminate excess costs and gain more flexibility with your business capital by leveraging self-funded medical insurance.

Direct Contracting

Establish a one-to-one relationship with a health system. This is ideal for organizations with a known, limited risk pool as it does place more ownership on you.

Learn About Captives and Stop-Loss Captives

Captives and stop loss captives are subtypes of group purchasing.

Group purchasing refers to the conceptual framework of joining a network and leveraging a group identity to purchase — insurance, supplies, materials, and more.

Stop-loss captives offer a stop-gap measure — a cap — so that your costs never extend far beyond what you can manage.
