Provider Excess

With the Affordable Care Act driving health care away from fee-for-service and toward quality- and value-based reimbursement, alternative payment models are quickly gaining prominence. Risk-based contracts or capitation, for example, place risk on the provider to incentivize value-based performance.

Summit Re offers provider excess loss (PXS) coverage designed to protect at-risk provider organizations from catastrophic losses by limiting financial responsibility to a specific dollar amount per patient for the services covered in a risk contract. A variety of deductible and coinsurance options allow us to tailor coverage depending on each client’s appetite for risk.

We offer:

  • Professional, hospital, or comprehensive coverage

  • Deductibles ranging from $10K to $1M

  • A 12/18 claims period (claims incurred within the 12-month policy period may be reported up to six months following the policy period)

  • 90% coinsurance

  • Annual limits from $500K to unlimited

  • Alternative funding options, including:

    • Aggregating specific deductible

    • Retained corridor

    • Experience refund

  • Full access to our Summit ReSources comprehensive medical management services.
