With the COVID-19 crisis, it's more difficult to predict how claims are going to play out. Some factors to take into account include the benefits of having aggregate coverage vs. specific coverage, as well as some of the most important considerations for a self-funded employer:

  • Taking a "laser"
  • Premium rate cap
  • Aggregate accommodation
  • Terminal liability option protection
  • Additional stop-loss enhancements

Additionally, it is important to determine what can lead to pitfalls with stop-loss claims as well as the methods necessary to avoid them.
