Entry Level Stop Loss Insurance Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Yuzu is a tech-enabled, vertically integrated Third Party Administrator (TPA) that powers innovative health plans centered on care navigation, capitated primary care, and real-time payments. Unlike traditional TPAs, we partner closely with plan designers who serve as care navigators, contract negotiators, and sales teams for the uniquely tailored plans they create.

We currently support thousands of employees and differentiate ourselves by helping new models of healthcare delivery come to life — enabling new ways to access and pay for care through health care coverage.

Our goal is simple: make it easy for any business to build and manage a custom health plan. We do this by efficiently processing claims, ensuring regulatory compliance, and building technology that enables custom payment flows and seamless collaboration across stakeholders. Equally important, we provide our members with high-quality support to ensure they have the guidance and assistance they need at every step of their healthcare journey.

As we continue to grow, we’re excited to welcome another talented member of the Claims team to help us maintain our standard of exceptional service and innovation.

The Role:

The Stop Loss Specialist is responsible for coordinating all activities related to stop loss insurance for self-funded employer groups. This role ensures accurate and timely submission of stop loss claims, manages ongoing claimant reporting, and serves as the primary liaison between the TPA, stop loss carriers, brokers, and internal departments. The Stop Loss Specialist plays a critical role in mitigating financial risk by monitoring high-cost claimants, validating plan liability, and ensuring compliance with policy provisions and contractual requirements.

Key Responsibilities:

Prepare, compile, and submit initial and ongoing stop loss claims in accordance with carrier-specific requirements.

Review claims data to validate eligibility, plan benefits, accumulators, provider billing accuracy, and patient responsibility prior to submission.

Track reimbursements and reconcile payments against expected recoveries.

Maintain timely follow-up with stop loss carriers to resolve outstanding items or additional documentation requests.

Identify potential stop loss claimants through daily/weekly high-dollar reporting.

Monitor claims approaching the specific deductible and ensure accurate accumulation.

Maintain updated logs for submission tracking purposes.

Policy & Contract Administration

Review stop loss policies to ensure adherence to contract terms, exclusions, and filing deadlines.

Coordination & Communication

Serve as the primary contact for stop loss carriers and employer groups regarding claim statuses and policy questions.

Collaborate closely with Claims team members to gather needed documentation.

Data Integrity & Reporting

Maintain accurate and secure records of all stop loss claims and reimbursement records.

Ensure all documentation meets audit and compliance standards.
