|| What
is stop-loss insurance?
Often referred to as excess loss or reinsurance, stop-loss
insurance is an extra layer of insurance designed to protect
the employer from catastrophic losses. The two types of stop-loss
insurance are specific and aggregate coverage. Specific stop-loss
protects against specific claimant medical expenditures whereas
aggregate stop-loss covers expenditures for the entire group.
|| How
does self-funding work?
For employers, self-funding offers greater flexibility in
plan design, administrative procedures, and managed care choices.
Self-funding can also be advantageous from a cash-flow standpoint.
Rather than pre-funding claims by sending premiums to an insurance
company, under self-funding, employers fund their claims as
they are presented for payment, which could be weeks or even
months after a premium would have been paid.
