Why We're Different
To get an accurate picture of your needs, Summit Re performs an in-depth analysis of your network and the managed care services you provide.

Then we offer you recommendations on how to address those risks.
Through Summit Re and Swiss Re, you gain access to a broad spectrum of products and services tailored precisely to match your situation. Here’s just a sampling of what we bring to the table:
Full array of coverage options for commercial, point-of-service, Medicare and Medicaid risk
Continuation of benefits due to insolvency option
Pass-through provider arrangements
Access to individual medical conversion for members who move out of your coverage area
Combined 31 days of skilled nursing, home health and rehabilitation days covered without meeting “acute care” definition

Summit Re also has access to markets for managed care liability coverage.
Out-Of-Area Solutions
If you’re considering ways to grow your business, Summit Re can be a real asset. We can help you access insured medical products for groups with employees located outside your service area. These products comply with model TPA, URAC and extraterritorial benefit regulations. Insured point-of-service and PPO products, offered by an insurer with an “B+” rating from A.M. Best (and licensed in 49 states), let you control the underwriting of the product, as a reinsurance captive approach is used.
Ancillary Services
Summit Re can bring you additional products you can offer your clients, including group life, disability, long-term care, dental and vision coverage.
Managed Care Stop Loss
Through Summit Re’s managed care stop-loss facility, you can access stop-loss products for self-insured employers for which your HMO serves as the TPA (or hires it) and employees access your provider network. The employer stop-loss policies are issued by Companion Life Insurance Company, rated A+ by A.M. Best. We use our HMO excess underwriting expertise to set network-specific excess rates and aggregate factors so that the self-funded quote matches what your HMO would offer if you underwrote the product.
