Self Insure Wisconsin: A new era for employer health insurance. Employers are jumping from one fully-insured carrier to another, but not actually solving the problem. Deductibles keep going up. Employee contributions keep going up. It’s almost impossible to win in a fully-insured world. Your ability to control your cost is completely out of your control. We built Self Insure Wisconsin to show Wisconsin employers there is a better way to control health insurance costs long term. Our mission is to bring control and transparency to health plans. We’re not here to sell you a specific strategy, we’re here to sell you the right solution. 4 ways we're reshaping the game: 1️⃣ Control: You decide. You manage the costs. 2️⃣ Transparency: See where every healthcare dollar goes. 3️⃣ Customization: Plans that fit YOUR workforce. 4️⃣ Long-term Savings: Ditch quick fixes. Embrace lasting solutions. Tired of rising costs and one-size-fits-all plans? It's time for a change.
