New Age Captive Opportunity

Medical Stop Loss Captives are a growing market phenomenon catching the attention of small to medium size plan sponsors. A Captive can be structured to meet the specific needs and goals of like minded member employers.

What Is A Captive?

A health insurance Captive is a method for taking risk. The strategy is designed to remove or mitigate the typical risk and volatility associated with large claims. By acting as a “shock absorber” for large claims a Captive leaves employers with their own smaller claims which they can effectively control. Lasers are no longer a material risk borne by individual member firms participating in a Captive.

A Group Captive can be made up of companies in the same industry or different industries and are ideal for organizations with 100 to 1,000 employees.

The organization should be financially stable, and its leadership should be willing to embrace innovative risk management strategies.
