In this episode of Captivating Health Insights , host Maddison Bezdicek sits down with Joe Parrilli, Chief Business Officer, Health Solutions at Captive Resources, to continue a captive education mini-series focused on traditional versus captive stop loss. Joe explains stop loss as protection against catastrophic claims and outlines how the captive model differs by providing greater transparency into premium allocation, risk sharing, and financial performance. The conversation addresses common misconceptions around pricing, highlights how captives are structured to break even with the potential return of surplus, and emphasizes the importance of managing total healthcare spend. Joe also explores how captives shift the focus from an annual shopping stop loss to a more strategic, long-term approach to controlling costs and improving outcomes.
