Are you Paying the "Self-Funded Tax"? See the Gap at SIIA 2026

For years, the promise of self-funding was simple. You pay for what you use, skip the carrier risk premium, and gain control. But as we head into 2026, the data is telling a different and more expensive story.

At Gigasheet, we have been digging into the newest 2026 Machine Readable Files (MRFs). The findings can be eyeopening: Self-funded employer plans may be paying significantly more than the carrier’s own fully-funded market rates for the exact same services.

We call it the "Self-Funded Tax," and we are bringing the show on the road to Jacksonville Florida later this month.

Join Us at the SIIA Price Transparency Forum

We are thrilled to announce that Gigasheet will be exhibiting at the SIIA Healthcare Price Transparency Forum in Jacksonville, FL, on February 25 through 26, 2026.

If you are a benefits consultant, TPA, or self-insured employer, this is your chance to see the data "black box" finally forced open. We will be showcasing our brand new Employer Plan Comparison Tool. This solution was built to help fiduciaries identify if and where they may be overpaying and leverage that data for their next negotiation, for care navigation, or for improved market intelligence.

What We are Showing: The "Gap Map"

The heart of our exhibit is our new interactive mapping and analytics suite. It is built on the signature high-scale engine from Gigasheet. It handles billions of rows but presents them in a UI that any Excel user can master in minutes.

• Interactive Price Gap Maps: See a map of your specific market. Instantly identify which hospitals or health systems are charging your plan a 20%, 30%, or even 50% premium over the standard commercial rate.
• Billing Code Deep Dives: Filter by CPT or DRG to see how high utilization procedure costs compare.
• Automatic Benchmarking: We have pre-loaded 2026 Medicare reimbursements and NPI enrichments. We process your plan data and we will show you exactly where you sit relative to the market median.

Why This Matters Now

Under the latest 2026 federal mandates, plan sponsors have a clear fiduciary duty to ensure they are not overpaying. You simply cannot fix what you cannot see.

When we compared Aetna commercial market data against specific employer plans they manage, the discrepancies were not just pennies. They were millions of dollars in aggregate spend. Gigasheet gives you the "Ground Truth" so you can walk into your renewal meetings with data instead of just hope.
