Health Stop Loss Captives: The Smart Choice for Mid-Market Employers

What is a Stop Loss Captive?

Think of a stop loss captive as a financial cooperative for like-minded employers. Instead of each company facing the healthcare market alone, members join forces to create their own insurance company for stop loss coverage. It's like having the power of a Fortune 500 company's insurance program, but tailored for mid-sized organizations.
