Frequently Asked Questions
What is a group medical captive and how does it work?
A group medical captive is a risk-sharing arrangement where multiple self-funded employers pool their stop-loss risk in a captive insurance structure. Instead of purchasing stop-loss from a commercial carrier, participating employers contribute to the captive, which retains a layer of risk and purchases reinsurance above it. In good claim years, the captive retains underwriting profit that is distributed back to member employers. Captives typically require a 3–5 year commitment and are best suited for employers with 50–1,000 employees.
How do I compare medical captive managers?
When comparing medical captive managers, employers should evaluate: (1) captive structure (group vs. cell vs. single-parent); (2) minimum employer size requirements; (3) collateral and capital requirements; (4) stop-loss carrier relationships; (5) cost containment programs included; (6) historical surplus distributions; (7) governance and transparency; (8) exit provisions. The AI Medical Captive Comparison Tool at www.employerbenefitsiq.com/tools/captive-comparison provides independent side-by-side analysis of leading captive managers.
What is the difference between a group captive and a cell captive?
A group captive is a shared structure where multiple employers pool risk together and share in collective underwriting results. A cell captive (or protected cell captive) gives each employer their own segregated cell within a larger captive structure — providing more individual risk isolation while still benefiting from shared infrastructure and reinsurance. Cell captives typically have lower capital requirements and faster setup than group captives, making them accessible to smaller employers.
