The regulatory landscape is changing and health care and insurance costs continue to escalate. Because of this, employer interest in self-funding employee health care coverage is rapidly expanding.
One solution for increasing the effectiveness of a self-funded program is writing medical stop loss coverage in a captive. A captive allows its owner, the insured, to reduce fixed insurance expenses, and capture underwriting profits and investment returns that would otherwise revert to an insurance company, thus reducing the ultimate cost of risk.
