The New York Metro Area Chapter invites you to attend…

Stop Loss Coverage—Increasing Cost and Increasing Importance

Stop-loss coverage is taking on more importance because it is increasing in cost faster than underlying medical trends. Large claims are occurring more frequently and at higher amounts. Health care reform is calling for removing plan limits. What is an employer to do? The presentation will review the underlying method for setting stop-loss levels and provide simple tools for establishing the proper level for each employer.

This seminar will highlight the following areas:

·  Tools for setting proper stop-loss levels

·  Formula for evaluating additional risk vs. premium savings

·  Issues that create gaps in coverage
