BCBSVT 2014 Provision for Large Claims and Stop Loss

Filing Status
Approved
Decision Date
Friday, April 11, 2014

This filing determines the factors BCBSVT uses to predict the cost of large health insurance claims and the pricing of stop loss coverage for self-insured groups. Large claims pooling and stop loss coverage provide financial protection against unexpectedly high medical claims, which unlike the costs of routine care, can vary significantly year-to-year.
