As an employer, self-funding your employees' health benefits means you benefit from lower costs, but it also means you can’t pay a medical insurance company to take on the risk and responsibility of paying the covered health claims — you’re on your own. Unum can help reduce that risk with Stop Loss Insurance, and we have options designed to fit your needs and budget.
Get protection against catastrophic costs related to your self-funded medical plan. Stop Loss solutions help your company focus on what matters — taking care of your employees and helping them work happier and healthier — instead of worrying about risk.
