Benefits Intelligence Atlas

Is your employer's plan self-funded or fully-insured?

Every large employer benefit plan files a Form 5500 with the U.S. Department of Labor each year. Search by company name or EIN to see how a plan is funded, how many people it covers, and who administers it — straight from the filing.

Every welfare benefit plan in the 2023 Form 5500 main-form dataset (84,234 filings) — searchable in full, sorted largest-first. The filing's derived benefit arrangement:

31,141
fully-insured
8,424
self-funded
44,657
mixed (bundled benefits)
12
not stated

“Mixed” is the most common result and is an honest answer, not a guess: one Form 5500 usually bundles health, dental, life, and disability, so some benefits are insured and others self-funded. The form does not say which — read the plan's Summary Plan Description (SPD) to know how your health benefit specifically is funded.
