About Us

Bywater’s mission is to deliver our customers the best experience possible. As a third-party administrator, we specialize in helping small to mid-sized companies make the switch from fully insured to a self-funded plan, guiding and simplifying the process every step of the way.

As part of the Roundstone Insurance family, Bywater grew out of the need to offer self-insured employers participating in Roundstone’s group medical captive health insurance plan a better alternative for plan administration. Together, we provide a fully integrated and turnkey solution designed to maximize savings and promote long-term cost containment, backed by data insights and professional expertise.

We’re committed to helping you manage your health plan efficiently, with best-in-class service no matter your group size. From our first introductions through annual renewals, and every step in between, you can expect attentive, personal care and clear communication from your Bywater Team.
