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.
