The regulatory landscape is changing, and healthcare and insurance costs continue to escalate. Because of this, employer interest in self-funding employee healthcare coverage is rapidly expanding.
One solution for increasing the effectiveness of a self-funded program is writing medical stop loss coverage in a captive. Single parent and group captives have proven successful in reducing fixed insurance expenses, delivering transparency and often captures underwriting profits and investment returns that would otherwise revert to an insurance company, ultimately reducing the cost of risk.
The QBE Captive Curve® is our all-encompassing captive solution model that removes barriers to entry and allows for frictionless movement to new strategies. From large employers in need of value-based catastrophic risk financing, to employers looking for an open group captive program, our stop loss model provides ease and stability. Our program, Agora, is a great starting point for advisors and employers to gather as they begin their self-funded and captive journeys. Pick your position, QBE has the right medical stop loss solution for you.
