We have has launched the TMC Healthcare Cooperative, a self-funded medical program open to all TMC lender members and preferred partners.
The TMC Healthcare Cooperative gives vendors, community banks, credit unions, and independent mortgage bankers a way to fund their own health claims as a group, share risk through a captive structure, and access institutional-grade stop-loss coverage, replacing the fully insured carrier model where rate increases arrive at renewal with no explanation and no recourse.
In a fully insured plan, premiums go to a national carrier regardless of healthcare usage.
The TMC Healthcare Cooperative replaces this with a group captive model: participants pool risk and fund their claims, so money stays within the group.
A captive layer spreads risk; a tough claims year for one participant doesn’t necessarily raise that participant’s renewal cost. Stop-loss coverage caps big claims, protecting members from high costs. Surpluses from better-than-expected claims are returned to participants rather than retained by an insurance carrier.
For depository institutions like community banks and credit unions, the program covers all employees, not just mortgage staff.
It pairs this with plan partners for administration, pharmacy and stop-loss coverage, selected through evaluation.
A committee of TMC lender members vetted these partners to ensure the program matches industry-specific costs, workforce traits and business cycles.
Participants see their claims data, control plan design and share best practices with peers.
