Aegis Risk LLCRyan Siemers, CEBS Principal Aegis Risk LLC 218 North Lee Street, Suite 306 Alexandria, VA 22314 (703) 778-6520 Fax: (703) 548-4399 E-mail: [email protected] www.aegisrisk.com

Aegis Risk is a specialty consultant and broker focused on medical stop loss, health reinsurance and related risk management strategies. We seek solutions for large employer benefit plans and other risk-bearing health entities. We partner directly with employers and providers as well as other brokers and consultants.

Our Value: Our in-depth knowledge of catastrophic medical claimants and their coverage solutions exceeds that of most benefits advisors—who only cover it occasionally. We obtain the greatest value in protection from this unique risk, while your primary broker or consultant remains focused on the rest.

Our Services: Core services include stop-loss plan design as well as carrier marketing and selection. Our expertise and relationships provide highly competitive renewal quotes, including top-rated carrier options not available to other benefits consultants and brokers.

Upon placement of stop-loss, we provide ongoing claims monitoring and reimbursement filing—providing peace of mind in using a carrier external to your claims administrator or health plan.

For larger organizations with multiple divisions and/or profit centers, we can structure an internal risk pool paired with a higher, less costly stop-loss deductible—further lowering your total expense.

Our historical perspective as health care benefit consultants uniquely prepares us as relevant advisors to ACOs and other emerging risk-bearing entities as they consider the potential shift of catastrophic claimants to their liability.

Learn More: Contact us today to discuss our approach, including a complimentary, no-commitment review of your coverage. We partner with employers as well as other brokers and consultants.

The plans we offer are fundamentally different—providing features like flexible funding and financing options as well as better strategies for driving adoption and guiding usage.

Our approach to consumer-directed care is rooted in creating better, more efficient connections among the people who provide benefits (employers, health plans and financial institutions), the people accessing health care services (employees/members) and the people who deliver health care services (doctors, nurses, technicians and other providers).

We believe there is a unique solution for every company. And we don’t stop working until we connect you with the perfect one—a solution that simplifies administration, delivers significant ROI and leaves employees feeling positive about their future.
