A new UBA Community for Self Funding is now open! This new online collaborative tool, designed exclusively for UBA Partners, makes sharing information, getting expert advice, and staying in touch with your peers easier than ever.

UBA has just added a Community for Self Funding, which is open to all Partners.

Rising costs and changing regulations are making companies look to self-funding as a way to manage health care costs. According to the UBA Health Plan Survey, self-funding, especially among small groups, has been steadily rising.

If you want to collaborate with other Partners on self-funding strategies and information, join this Community.

To join and participate in this Community, log in to the Communities platform at https://communities.ubabenefits.com, select Communities > All Communities from the menu at the top of the page, then click the "Join" button next to the Self Funding Community.
