Connecting you with top-tier networks

Known for high quality care, our network includes SSM Health Dean Medical Group clinics, SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital - Madison, SSM Health St. Clare Hospital, and SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital - Janesville, along with many other high-quality hospitals, providers, and specialists.

This setup prioritizes cost containment, coordinated care, and superior service for your employees.

Benefits of our Integrated Delivery Network:

  • Use data and insights across care delivery, health plan, and PBM to drive member savings
  • Promote employee health with timely and appropriate care from the right provider
  • Reduce duplication and enhance the patient experience


Stop-loss insurance protects your bottom line

Stop-loss insurance provides a safety net, ensuring severe health claims won't jeopardize your plan's financial stability. Imagine this: if one or two members face a catastrophic illness, the high costs could strain a large organization's health plan. We offer stop-loss coverage to shield against such losses, a crucial element in tailoring a self-funded strategy to your risk tolerance. This provides security and safety, knowing that your plan's financial stability is protected. 

As your trusted partner, we offer competitive rates and our own stop-loss product. We also collaborate with other stop-loss carriers to fulfill your needs and guarantee comprehensive protection for your business.
