  • Setting up monthly high-cost claim reporting
  • Implementing third-party audit protocols for any known inpatient hospital or drug claim with $100,000 or more in submitted claims pending
  • Obtaining current plan coverage documents and amendments annually
  • Requesting bids every two to three years to make sure you’re getting the best possible deal on your stop-loss coverage
