10th Annual Medical Captive Forum (MCF) Breaks Attendance Records in Cleveland, Leads the Charge in Self-Funding Innovation

CLEVELAND, May 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Roundstone's Medical Captive Forum (MCF) 2025 made history as the largest group captive healthcare benefits event ever held in Cleveland. Employers, advisors, and industry leaders came together to explore bold new directions in self-funding—marking a shift in how benefits are delivered.

MCF 2025 began with an energizing morning networking session, followed by a dynamic Roundtable highlighting the power of the Per Employee Per Year (PEPY) metric—the emerging need-to-know benchmark for health plan performance.

Breakout sessions addressed every stage of the self-funding journey, with beginner, intermediate, and advisor-focused tracks. The event offered practical, forward-thinking solutions to the top-searched challenges facing employers and brokers today, including:

• Understanding the Captive Model: A Self-Funding Introduction
• What Impacts My Renewal
• The Critical Role of a Good TPA
• The Power of Preferred Bundles in Cost Control

Keynote Highlight: Innovation expert Josh Linkner inspired the audience to Find a Way™ forward, followed by employer case studies that demonstrated real savings and success in self-funded captives. Like some of the lowest PEPY numbers and a streamlined customer experience led by Bywater, Roundstone's in-house third-party administrator.

Breaking attendance records, MCF 2025 confirmed that employers are actively seeking alternatives to traditional insurance. "Employers are ready to take back control of healthcare spend," said Roundstone President Mike Schroeder.

Next stop: Dallas. MCF 2026 promises even more insights and innovations for the future of employee healthcare.
