The ClaimLinx Simple Option Solution is ClaimLinx’s premier product. It’s our trailblazing solution for purchasing employer-paid benefits at a lower cost.
In the simplest terms, the ClaimLinx Simple Option Solution plan combines a high-deductible insurance plan with a self-funded medical expense reimbursement plan (MERP). It’s taking a regular health insurance plan and mixing it with a self-funded plan to get the best option for employers and workers.

Start with a High Deductible Plan
The high-deductible health insurance plan offers peace of mind. That way the insurance company is responsible for the bulk of bill if an employees has high medical costs. The regular health insurance plan also offers a wide doctors network. That way employees can keep going to the same doctor, specialist or hospital.
Insurance carriers also have contracts for discounts for certain services. With a high-deductible plan, employers and employees can use those discounts to lower the amount for services. The best part is by choosing a high-deductible plan, employers get both of these benefits — a wide network and discounts — at a much lower price.
Then Add a Self-Funded MERP
The problem with a high-deductible plan is it doesn’t have as many important benefits employees need. That’s why we add back the self-funded medical expense reimbursement plan (MERP). ClaimLinx designs each plan to fit the clients needs. We typically mirror the plan employees are currently using. That means workers experience the same deductible and copays. They don’t see a change in their benefits.
That’s all because the MERP, which the company funds, pays for the gap between the high deductible plan and the self-funded plan. We take all that savings on insurance premiums from choosing a high-deductible and bring it back to the employees so they still have great benefits.

It’s a simple process combining the two types of insurance, and it’s all done in-house. First, each claim goes to the insurance carrier of the high-deductible plan. Then it is sent to ClaimLinx, where our experienced processors determine who owes what on any remaining amount for the claim.
