Why A Level-Funded Program?
A level-funded health plan is a type of plan that combines the cost savings and customization of self-funding with the financial safety and predictability of traditional, fully insured plans. Level funding was previously available only to large employers, but not anymore. Experience the advantages of level-funding through PECAA HP without taking on added risk.
- Various plan design options make it easy for you to find the right fit for your practice.
- An experienced team is always ready to provide expertise before, during, and after you’ve chosen your plan.
Key Advantages of Level-Funding
- One Predictable Monthly Payment
Your monthly payment is determined up front and is guaranteed not to increase for a full year as long as there are no changes to your group’s benefits or enrollment. - Plan Administration & Account Management
Payments of claims, customer service, and reporting is all done for you, leaving you to focus on your practice. - Quality Benefits
All plans satisfy minimum essential coverage requirements under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). - Full Coverage for Preventative Services
Preventative services are covered 100% when received from in-network providers.

Available Benefit Options
Traditional PPO
A Preferred Provider Organization plan is a level-funded health insurance plan.
Unlike with fully insured plans, employers that do not meet the underlying medical underwriting requirements can be turned down.
- Requires medical underwriting through census data.
- Rates can be 20% less than fully insured health plans.
- Various networks are offered throughout the country.
ICHRA
An Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement, or ICHRA, is a group insurance option that empowers employees to choose their own medical plan while still allowing employers to contribute to the cost of premiums:
- Takes the employer out of the middle of employee health care concerns.
- Cost effective way to control health insurance costs.
- No minimum participation requirements, unlike many employer-based plans.
- Allows employer to contribute different levels of premium assistance based on employee class.
IHP
An Individualized Health Plan or IHP is a Limited Day Medical Plan with limitations on coverage. Medical underwriting relies on census data and may reject high-risk groups. Features include:
- Zero-dollar deductibles, except for the HSA plan.
- Affordability with low premiums.
- Utilization of the PHCS/Multi-Plan network as the Nationwide PPO Physician Network.
- Requirement for most outpatient services to be done at freestanding clinics, not hospitals, with some exceptions.
- Plan limits for number of annual doctor visits, hospital days, and outpatient services.

What Members Are Saying About PECAAHP:
We participated in PECAA’s health plan last year with the help of Patrick Thornton who walked me through every step of putting it into place. He was very helpful in explaining the plan costs, benefits and how it would work. He followed up multiple times through the year making sure it was working well for us. It was a better plan than we’ve had and saved us around $6,000 for the year. Glad we did it.
-Dr. Shawn Brittain, Westside Eye Center
We have had a great experience with Anderson Thornton and all that were involved in us enrolling in an affordable health plan. Before 2021, we were not able to provide health insurance to our employees. After joining PECAA and dealing with Anderson Thornton, we are able to offer our employees an affordable health plan for themselves and their families. It was an easy process and the team at Anderson Thornton made it enjoyable.
