Aegis Risk is a specialty employee-benefits consulting firm and broker focused on medical stop loss coverage and related risk management issues for large employer benefit plans.

Our in-depth knowledge on this "low frequency but high exposure" benefit exceeds that of most advisors – who only cover it occasionally. We obtain the greatest value for our clients on this unique benefit, while their primary broker or consultant remains focused on the rest.

Core services include stop loss deductible analysis and carrier selection, where our focused expertise often saves clients hundreds of thousands in premium. On stop loss, we provide ongoing claims monitoring and reimbursement filing – providing peace of mind in using a carrier external to your TPA or health plan.  For larger organizations with internal divisions, we can structure an upfront risk pool paired with a higher, less costly stop loss deductible – further lowering your total expense.

We also conduct an annual Medical Stop Loss Premium Survey – the only survey focused exclusively on employer premiums. Visit our Web site for Survey highlights and submission details. All respondents receive a FREE copy of the results.

Contact us today to discuss key coverage issues and our strategic solutions, including those related to health care reform and unlimited lifetime maximums.  We partner with employers, as well as other consultants and brokers.

Accurate.  The First Time.  Every Time.  Benefit Outsourcing Solutions (BOS) is a custom provider of health & welfare and defined benefit administration.  We understand that our clients demand and deserve accurate administration managing eligibility, enrollment, life events, premium collection, vendor interfaces, COBRA, court orders, reporting and call center services.  Accurate benefit administration is critical not only to our clients, but to BOS.  Because we set up and implement all the processes, procedures, feeds and systems correctly the first time, we can concentrate our efforts on superior customer service while still keeping our fees low.  Furthermore, our clients gain additional time to perform their own duties and responsibilities instead of dealing with benefit administration issues caused by their own administrator.

Answers don’t grow on (decision) trees.  The majority of our clients have extremely complex benefit plans that are too complicated to be addressed by inexperienced call center staff with decision tree software.  Our calls are handled by a dedicated team of experienced benefit professionals who are experts in every aspect of the service spectrum.  That’s why 99% of our participant needs are fully addressed on the first call.

Less Queue.  More A.  The best technology in the world is useless if it can’t be delivered correctly and in a timely manner.  Thus, BOS has proprietary systems that are easily customized and configured to meet our client’s unique needs.  We also assign a dedicated IT resource to ensure your requests are always top priority and the person doing the work is fully knowledgeable about your plans, vendor feeds and requirements.

Contact us today to see how a customized solution and dedicated team of benefit professionals can make accurate administration easier and cost effective for you.
