Crumdale’s Captive Solutions allow mid-market employers to seamlessly transition to self-funding, leveraging the Stop Loss Group Captive model to mitigate risk and reap rewards.
The Challenge for Employers
Historically, small to medium sized businesses (SMBs) have had fewer options to manage rising healthcare costs compared to large employers.
They typically lack the size and scale to adopt a self-funded model independently.
The Stop Loss Group Captive SOLUTION
This strategy has emerged as a viable means for SMBs to manage employee healthcare expenses.
It offers a way for SMBs to take control of these costs through collective risk management.
THE CAPTIVE VALUE PROPOSITION
Group Stop Loss Captives Offer:
Long term STABILITY over healthcare costs
TRANSPARENCY into claims costs and premium drivers
CONTROL into claims costs and premium drivers
CUSTOMIZATION of health plans that fit the employer
Employers retain what they don’t spend and have an opportunity for RETURNS
There are three layers in the employee benefits captive group
LEVEL 1: EMPLOYER SELF-FUNDED LAYER
MINE
Funds that each member employer retains to pay smaller, more predictable claims.
LEVEL 2: CAPTIVE LAYER
OURS
Risk above the employer self-funded layer is transferred to the captive layer designed to spread risk across a larger, cleaner pool while providing an opportunity to capture a return on premium. The captive layer enables stability and protection from large rate increases.
LEVEL 3: REINSURANCE LAYER
THEIRS
Protects the member self-funded layer and the captive layer from unknown catastrophic loss.
HOW DO GROUP STOP LOSS CAPTIVES WORK?
1
Each employer within the captive maintains their own claims fund to pay for smaller, more predictable claims.
2
Each employer is individually underwritten and issued a specific and aggregate stop loss policy which provides a safety net for high-cost or catastrophic claims.
3
Each employer must post collateral, which is required to be admitted into the captive program and pre-funds claims that might have hit the captive layer.
4
Each employer transfers a block of risk into the captive layer. In this captive retention layer, losses are the responsibility of the captive. Reinsurance covers the layer above the captive layer.
5
Through sound claims management, innovative cost containment, and loss control, employers can lower the cost of claims, and therefore reap financial dividends through the captive.
