What is medical stop loss insurance?

Medical stop loss insurance is a type of coverage purchased by employers who self-fund their employee health benefit plans. It protects them from catastrophic or unpredictable high-cost claims by reimbursing the employer when claims exceed a certain dollar amount, known as the stop-loss limit. There are two main types: individual (specific) stop loss, which covers high claims for a single person, and aggregate stop loss, which covers total claims for the group. This insurance helps employers manage financial risk while still offering health benefits to employees.

Proficiency with risk assessment tools, underwriting software, and data management systems is typically required.
