Who We Are

The Purpose Behind Parasol Health

Parasol Health is a self-funded benefits partner that works with brokers and employers to create health plan solutions around the needs of each organization.

Why Parasol Was Created

Healthcare costs continue to rise, but many employers have limited room to respond. Standard plan structures may leave them choosing between another difficult renewal and a change that does not fit their workforce.

Parasol Health was created to offer another path.

We work through the broker to understand the pressures facing each employer, then determine what type of self-funded solution may be appropriate. Some groups need a complete health plan. Others need focused support in an area where costs or plan performance require more attention.

The goal is to create a plan that makes sense for the employer and remains workable for the people using it.

What Makes Parasol Different

Parasol operates with a straightforward belief: a health plan should reflect the organization behind it. That belief guides our work from the first conversation through ongoing plan support.

  • Flexible by Design

    Each solution is shaped around the employer’s workforce and financial priorities rather than pulled from a fixed package.

  • Connected Across the Plan

    Parasol coordinates the resources included in the plan so employers are not left managing a collection of disconnected vendors.

  • Practical for the Workforce

    Plan decisions account for how employees access and use their benefits, particularly within organizations that have varied populations or changing coverage needs.

  • Able to Adapt

    As an employer’s needs change, Parasol can evaluate where the plan requires broader adjustments or more focused support.
