Risk Management Insights, Strategies, and Best Practices

Published: Union Risk Services Date: October 3, 2025

What if your company could cut health insurance costs by more than half — without sacrificing service or flexibility?

Union recently worked with a New York–based medical waste transportation firm facing annual health insurance premiums of over $1.2 million. By transitioning to a health insurance captive with Union Risk, they now pay $450,000 — a savings of more than 60%.

Why Captives Outperform Traditional Insurance

  • Greater control over underwriting and claims
  • Lower fixed premiums with stop-loss protection from A-rated carriers
  • Flexibility to make real-time employee or plan changes mid-year
  • Streamlined administration through a dedicated third-party administrator
  • Turns insurance expense into an asset

The result? Over $750,000 in annual savings — while maintaining benefit quality and increasing plan flexibility.
