Case Study: Tolunay-Wong Engineering achieves predictable cost savings and seamless self-funding with Namely

How Tolunay-Wong Engineering Self-Funded Benefits

Tolunay‑Wong Engineers (TWE), a geotechnical engineering firm with a diverse, 370‑employee workforce, faced a 40% spike in benefits costs and refused to pass large increases onto staff. To control expenses and retain competitive benefits, TWE moved from a fully‑insured plan to a self‑funded model but needed an experienced partner to manage claims, compliance, and enrollment.

Partnering with Namely, TWE gained claims analysis, financial projections, and hands‑on enrollment support (including video tutorials and carrier integrations). The result: same plans and carriers, 0% increases on ancillary lines, only $5–$12 per‑paycheck increases on major medical, clearer long‑term cost projections, smoother open enrollment, and better data to drive wellness and cost‑savings initiatives.
