About Stop Loss

Medical stop loss insurance protects companies that self-fund their health insurance plans against large or catastrophic claims. Employers with stop loss insurance are reimbursed for individual employees’ medical costs above a certain pre-determined dollar amount. Stop loss insurance also protects against unexpectedly large amounts of total medical claims. In such a case, the coverage kicks in once a certain amount has been paid by a client toward all of its employee medical bills.
