The Challenge
RUN was founded in 2007 and has quickly grown to nearly 50 employees. The company wanted an affordable health benefits solution that provided cost control and maximum employee flexibility. With its unpredictable costs and mandatory participation requirements, a traditional group plan was not a good fit for RUN’s workforce.
Array’s Solution
In May 2008, RUN implemented Array’s solution. The company gives a health benefits allowance to each employee, who then uses the funds for a wide range of medical expenses, including individual health insurance premiums. Employees can select and apply for individual health insurance policies and also view their account balances online with
Array’s platform.
RUN did not set up a separate bank account for the new plan. All funds stay in the general assets of the company until employees submit their medical expenses. Array tracks the accounting which RUN’s administrator can access through it’s online Company Portal. Once a month
Array posts a report instructing RUN how much to reimburse employees for medical expenses, including health insurance premiums, that were submitted to Array in the previous period. RUN simply uses this report to reimburse employees though payroll.
Key Benefits
Array’s solution enables RUN to:
- Offer an affordable health benefits plan: RUN is able to offer health benefits at a cost it controls.
- Give employees choice: Array delivers real value to current employees by giving them choice of how to use their healthcare dollars.
- Provide administrative simplicity: Array’s technology makes the plan administration easy.
- Offer portability: Since RUN’s employees have a variety of needs, it is important to be able to integrate existing plans, as well as allow people to continue their coverage easily if they move on to other opportunities.
