I am self-employed. Can I buy a CSHP-affiliated
health plan?
A
Yes. There are competitively priced plans available
for sole proprietors, small employer groups, and individuals and families.
Q
How many employees are needed
to self-fund my health insurance expenses?
A
Generally, Third Party Administrators (TPAs) will work
with any size employer to self-fund their health plan. However, stop
loss carriers typically require a minimum of 50 enrollees. CSHP works
with many TPAs that serve the needs of larger employers in the region.
Q
Is CSHP an insurance company?
A
No. CSHP does not pay medical bills. CSHP is the network
of health care providers that is accessed by various payors.
Q
What should I do if I have questions
about my CSHP-affiliate health insurance plan?
A
A representative of CSHP will be happy to assist you
with any questions you may have. There will also be a telephone number
on your enrollee identification card for your insurance company, third
party administrator or utilization management company.
Q
How much does a CSHP-affiliated
health plan cost?
A
The cost of CSHP-affiliated health plans will vary,
based on the age of the individual or group enrollees and medical
underwriting completed by each insurance company. Please contact CSHP
or an insurance agent that markets plans affiliated with CSHP to obtain
a specific quote.
