Lower Stop-Loss exposure with Rx cost-containment strategies.


Insurance & Risk

When a self-funded health plan incurs large ongoing medical claims, they rely on stop-loss coverage to mitigate this risk. However, many stop-loss plans can set individual-specific deductibles for higher-risk members. This practice, called lasering, can negatively impact a growing business's cash flow and cause increases in plan renewal costs.


Specialty drug spending currently accounts for over 50% of net spending in pharma. These brands are priced excessively high at $200+ per month.


When trying to mitigate potential stop-loss risk exposure to these catastrophic medical events and the potential negative impact of lasered claims, managing the plan impact of one high-cost specialty drug is critical.


Cost-containment is achieved by integration and cooperation with the plan and pharmacy benefit manager to maximize prescription fulfillment through non-traditional channels.

The plan can provide brand-name drugs delivered to the member at little to no cost while strategically lowering the financial impact on the plan and the individual's stop-loss limitations.
