With costly healthcare claims becoming more frequent, stop-loss coverage is vital to shield self-funded employers from large medical and pharmacy claims in any given year.
Comprehensive coverage terms
Negotiated terms including multi-year rate caps and limitations on “lasering” of high-risk claimants year to year by carriers means you have protection beyond just the current policy period.
Holistic review
We take a consultative approach when placing coverage for you. We will review your existing insurance coverage and work to identify gaps in coverage or non-competitive terms and conditions. Then we can help find appropriate coverage through carrier partners to optimize your premium spend and insurance coverage.
Clinical and operational performance assessments
Through necessary due diligence, we can evaluate vendor partner performance and manage high-cost claim irregularities. Our regular third-party assessments provide a foundation for continuous process improvement toward better clinical and financial results.
