The Marpai Vitality Plan is a unique offering in the rapidly growing segment of self-funded health plans, where small businesses are increasingly opting for greater control, cost savings, and better benefits for their employees.
According to the Kaiser Family Foundation Employer Health Benefits Annual Survey, An estimated 20% of workers employed by businesses with under two hundred employees are in self-funded plans as of 2022, versus only 13% of workers in this segment in 2011.

Marpai Vitality Plan has been meticulously designed to simplify the process, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience for newly self-funded small employers. From initial setup to ongoing management, the streamlined approach allows organizations to get up and running quickly, enabling them to focus on what they do best – growing their business.
The Marpai Vitality Plan provides comprehensive healthcare for groups of less than 100 employees. It offers a wide range of services, including access to national and regional provider networks, compliance, banking, vision and dental options, telehealth, COBRA administration, out-of-network repricing (OON), utilization management (UM), pharmacy benefit management (PBM), care management, subrogation, and stop-loss placement. With a strong emphasis on value-based benefits, the Marpai Vitality Plan enables smaller employers to prioritize the well-being and healthcare outcomes of their employees.
