How does Level Funded Stop Loss Work?
- Employers pay a monthly stop loss premium and a PEPM amount equal to its Monthly Aggregate Deductible to cover claims
- If the total actual claims costs exceed the accumulation of the employer's Monthly Aggregate Deductible paid at any time during the policy period, the stop loss policy reimburses the balance
- Any remaining Monthly Aggregate Deductible amounts at the end of the contract are retained by the employer
Benefits of Level Funded Stop Loss:
- Provides predictable monthly cash flow
- Financially rewarded for low claims costs and retain all unused funds
- Flexibility in plan design, contract type and network
- Control and transparency in employers’ health plans
Our Differences
Low Max Cost
- Level Funded Stop Loss combines underwriting methodologies of both fully insured and self-funding, creating a lower maximum obligation for the client.
- No Lasers.
- Our Level Funded Stop Loss is an aggregate only product, does not contain lasers or split funded liabilities. We are committed to offering all clients a non-laser renewal, while still providing an unlimited maximum per person.
Flexibility
- Producers and Third-Party Administrator (TPA) partners have the flexibility to be creative in the schedule of benefits.
- Ability to incorporate market leading point solutions and Pharmacy Benefit Managers.
- Ability to incorporate payment arrangements using Reference Based Pricing and/or traditional PPO networks.
- Transparency and Control.
- Clients know their exact claims cost.
- Claims are reimbursed daily resulting in no cash calls. All unused Monthly Aggregate Deductibles are retained by the client regardless if they renew or terminate.
Flexible Contracts
- Clients can elect contracts that include run-out, such as 12/18 or 12/24. They can also elect to minimize first year expenses by electing a 12/12, which allows them to renew with run-in protection.
- TLO is an optional provision for contracts without run-out protection.
