About Excess Reinsurance

Founded in 1988, Excess Reinsurance was one of the first managing general underwriters in the nation to specialize in stop-loss insurance. Stop-loss insurance helps protect self-funded employers from the financial impact of large and unexpected healthcare claims, placing our actuarial team at the intersection of healthcare, insurance, data analytics, and risk management.

What began as a team of three underwriters has grown into a diverse organization spanning actuarial, underwriting, sales, claims, legal, and operations. Today, Excess Reinsurance underwrites stop-loss coverage for more than 1,000 employer groups annually while remaining guided by four core principles: integrity, stability, innovation, and quality service.
