Description
One of the strongest recent trends in the captive industry has been the participation of captives in medical stop loss programs. Small to mid-sized employees have used group captive programs to get some control over their health insurance costs and transparency into their claims data, while larger employers have been able to leverage single parent captives for a more efficient program structure. But how have these programs been impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic and what can we anticipate as we head into the January 1st renewal season?
Topics covered in this webinar include:
- Recent trends in the use of captives for medical stop loss insurance
- The impact of the pandemic
- Impact on renewal underwriting
- Claims experience and impact on captive results
- Commercial market experience
- Current market conditions and how best to use captives
The webinar is suitable for any employers, consultants, brokers and insurance industry professionals involved with or considering the use of captives to insure medical stop loss.
