Description

One of the many reasons a skilled, independent actuary is crucial to your health plan strategy: setting the right individual stop-loss limit.


Do you just go with what you did last year? Follow “best practices” blindly? Take whatever a vendor recommends? In this episode, we break down:


  • How to approach stop-loss decisions strategically
  • Why good data is your best friend
  • Common mistakes employers make when self-funding
  • How actuaries help you budget accurately & protect your plan


I was thrilled to have Nick Allen, career actuary and Founder/CEO of Blue Raven, back in the studio for this second half of our 2-part series on why actuaries matter so much in the health plan ecosystem.


If you missed Part 1, go back and catch it—then dive into this powerful conclusion!
