Self-funding is an effective approach that employers can use to gain greater flexibility and control over their health plan costs.  In order to provide an extra measure of financial protection against catastrophic claims, most self-funded employers purchase Medical Stop Loss coverage. The amount of risk to be reinsured is a function of the employer's size, nature of business and risk tolerance.  Employers can take advantage of several benefits not necessarily available under a traditional fully insured program such as lower operating costs, increased cash flow, flexibility in plan design and better claim management.  In addition, self-funded employers often enjoy reduced premium taxes since most states tax only the stop loss premiums and not the self-funded claim fund.

SLG Benefits and Insurance, LLC is a medical stop loss insurance Program Manager established to provide expertise and timely solutions to the medical stop loss and claim administration community. The company was created to surpass the needs of Third Party Administrators (TPA's) and broker/consultants specializing in the self-funded employee benefits market.

Risk Management Rating Credits   (more details)

SLG Benefits and Insurance, LLC has developed a stop loss pricing model to recognize and reward Business Partners who actively report Claimant information based on the criteria described.  We cannot stress enough the importance of early notification based on the proven cost management techniques employed by many top firms today.  Cost controls have become even more important in recent years as employers have elected to take on more risk to stem inflationary pressures on stop loss rates.  SLG Benefits established their Risk Management Department to facilitate the delivery of innovative cost containment techniques to produce real savings to the client both above and below the specific deductible selected.  We believe these efforts will ultimately result in longer-term stability in the employer’s stop loss pricing.
