Clients Saved 33% Over the Last Five Years by Self-Funding Through a Captive

February 7, 2025

A recent analysis showed that between 2019 and 2023 Conner Strong & Buckelew employee benefits clients that transitioned from fully insured to self-insured with our CREO stop-loss solution saved nearly $194 million. That equates to a savings of 33% versus what they would have spent had they remained fully insured.

Focusing on just the last year of the study, the savings trajectory becomes even clearer. The estimated per employee per month (PEPM) cost for fully insured employers was $1,812, while the PEPM for self-insured clients using our captive solution was $1,096. That’s a savings of almost 40%.
