Stop Loss

Purchased through BCS Insurance Company, stop loss is an innovative reinsurance plan that helps protect your reserves against medical and prescription drug claims above a pre-defined dollar amount. Your choices include:

  • Specific Stop Loss means protection for self-funded plans – per condition, per individual – based on a predetermined level up to a chosen maximum.
  • Aggregate Stop Loss means protection for self-funded plans or claims in total, subject to maximum liability limits.
    • Self-funded large groups (more than 200 subscribers) have many options: attachment points between $100,000 and $1 million.
    • Self-funded small groups (51-199 subscribers) have many options: attachment points between $25,000 and $100,000.

BCS Insurance Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of BCS Financial Corporation, an independent company that does not provide Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois products or services. BCS Insurance Company is solely responsible for the stop loss coverage and other products and services it provides.
