Self-Fund and Replicate the Size and Stability of Single, Larger Employers

Health insurance is risky – especially if you run a small business. If you have 50 employees and three of them get cancer, your premiums can become quite expensive.

Employee benefits stop loss captives help you de-risk your benefits plan by leveraging the law of large numbers. An employer can team up with other organizations of a similar size to group their employees together. Working with larger numbers will lower your company’s overall risk levels and stabilize annual healthcare costs.

Power in Numbers

How Many Groups Can Be in a Group Stop Loss Captive?

What Are Our Captive Options? What Provider Networks are Available?

While some captives are designed with a certain TPA or network in mind, one of the great things about captives is that the parameters for member groups are determined by the captive members themselves. While some captives are homogenous in that they are all in a similar industry or all utilize a certain network, others are heterogeneous and allow for members to utilize whatever network and TPA they would like. The only common theme in heterogeneous captives is the stop loss carrier.

 

Do You Qualify?

  • Do I have at least 50 employees?
  • Would you want to be self-insured right now or in the future?
  • Are you looking for a way to stabilize your overall risk?

If you answered “yes” to the above, employee benefits stop loss captives may be a good fit for you.
