Tweet this Zurich and MRM have collaborated previously and understand each other's structure and values. That helped Zurich finalize the arrangement and launch the offering ahead of the typical January peak period for writing medical stop loss coverage.
"We are pleased to once again be working with Zurich, who shares our commitment to protecting customers and creating high value," said MRM President Mehb Khoja. "Our shared clients will benefit from our depth of data and experience, as well as some of the most dynamic talent in the stop loss segment."
Stop loss insurance is purchased by employers who self-fund their employee benefit plans but do not want to assume 100% of liability for catastrophic losses that may arise. Under a stop loss policy, the insurance provider becomes liable for losses above a deductible set in the policy.
