There’s strength—and protection—in membership.
When you join ParetoHealth, you join more than 2,200 employers representing more than 810,000 lives and more than $3B in healthcare spending. ParetoHealth captives are formed by groups of employers with the same business goal: To reduce the cost—but not the quality—of their employee health programs, without taking on unnecessary risk.
When you join the captive, you pay your employees’ claims yourself, just like in a self-insured plan.
To mitigate the amount of risk you’re taking on, captive membership includes two types of medical stop-loss insurance.
-
Specific Stop-LossSpecific stop loss covers large claims from individuals. When claims for any one person on your plan exceed your specific deductible, you get reimbursed for the difference.
-
Aggregate Stop-LossAggregate stop loss puts a limit on how much you’ll pay during the entire plan year. So, if you end up with more claims than expected, you’re covered.
Both specific and aggregate coverage are included with your captive membership, and every Member contributes to a fund that creates a long-term buffer against stop-loss premium increases.
That’s how captive membership reduces claims risk and makes self-insurance possible for employers like you.
