Large Group Medical

We offer a wide range of flexible funding options designed to accommodate each group’s specific needs or budget. For groups with 51 or more covered employees, the following fully insured and funding arrangements are available, subject to underwriting guidelines and product availability of the carriers we represent.

Experience Rating Agreement

In these products a partially insured contract is in place, but the carrier agrees to return unused premium to the group. Unused premium is collected premium that exceeds the sum of claims paid, needed reserves, expenses, taxes and other government obligations. The carriers Experience Rating agreement also may be available on a Retrospective Premium basis.

Stop Loss Insurance—Aggregate Only – “SPAGREGATE”

These products sometimes called “Spagregate programs” combine the best features of traditional stop loss using specific and aggregate reinsurance but allow the employer the benefit of pricing at or near traditional fully insured levels. The employer’s liability is rolled into a fixed stable monthly payable. At no time will the employer be asked to fund more than the fixed monthly payable. Funds left at the contract end are the employers. The employer realizes the flexibility of an ERISA plan document and the efficiencies of a qualified third party administrator.
