Think about Premiums

Stop-Loss coverage de-risks self-funded employers from catastrophic or unpredictable losses associated with high-cost claimants.  Stop-Loss itself is not medical insurance – it’s a financial and risk management tool.

Annual premiums increase when too many claimants exceed their deductible. Be data-driven to reduce long-term costs.

Smart Stop-Loss uses data to:

  • Monitor an existing policy
  • Actively manage members approaching deductible thresholds
  • See rising risk and projected year-end spend
  • Determine premiums and deductibles that optimize costs

 

What is Smart Stop-Loss?

Smart Stop-Loss is an Analytic Package for HDMS clients.

See members and amounts, even before they hit a Stop-Loss deductible threshold. See details around:

Stop-Loss claimants

Flags members that meet policy trigger criteria (diagnoses, conditions, specialty Rx, etc.) on a running basis. See running totals.

Projected risk

Shows month-by-month actuals and projections. See who is likely to meet or exceed deductibles and when for accurate planning.

Potential risk

Uncovers rising risk. See who is approaching (configurable) thresholds, like 80% deductible AND projected year-end estimates.

Set laser lists and deductibles

Stop-Loss policies are highly customized.  Many include laser lists – these contain specific individuals expected as high-cost claimants.  These individuals have a unique (higher) deductible.

Accurate laser lists ultimately keep Stop-Loss premium lower for the rest of the population.

Smart Stop-Loss packages up information for easy decision-making for next year’s laser lists based on existing health profiles and individual costs.

All analytic views produce results that account for each member’s unique deductible amount.
