Aetna Funding AdvantageSM health plans are designed with your small business in mind. They offer the benefits of self-funding, like more cost control, with the protection and simplicity your small business needs.

The best part? When your employees’ health care costs are lower than expected, you get back a percentage of your funds. That means more money for your company. So you win big.

Aetna Funding Advantage – a big thing for your small business

You’re protected

Aetna Funding Advantage offers the benefits of self-funding along with financial protection to manage risks. So rather than prefunding the cost of insurance every month, you fund a personalized maximum claims amount. When your claims are higher than this maximum amount, stop loss insurance kicks in.

Even better, when you renew your plan, we return 50 percent of any surplus to you.

Save more with self-funding

Traditional funding is subject to state mandates and has limited plan options. And you get no money back. With Aetna Funding Advantage, you can get money back and savings of up to 25 percent* on monthly payments. So you can control benefits costs simply and affordably. This means big savings and more money for your business.

If you have a medical condition that prevents you from meeting your goals, or if your doctor advises you not to take part in physical activity, there may be an opportunity for you to earn the same reward by different means.
