We’ve been in the stop loss business for more than 45 years. In fact, we helped pioneer it.

That means we know the importance of offering contracts with:

No new or increased lasers at renewal.1

No declined renewals due to poor claims experience.

Limited general exclusions.

Terminal liability options.

No exclusions or limitations that conflict with your plan document.

Prescription drug benefits.

Two coverage options

Choose one or both of the following—whichever meets your needs:
