· E.D.I.S. ensures that every stop loss, MEC plan it offers includes complete aggregate protection to reduce and limit an employer’s plan liability.
· E.D.I.S. was the first TPA in California to implement solutions to overcome the strict self-funding regulations of SB-161 which requires alternative set up and additional tracking.
· Our EDHP™ program returned more than 2 million in unused claims funds to its clients in 2017 and is on target to surpass that in 2018. Where other stop loss carriers and TPA’s keep a portion of the unused claims fund, E.D.I.S. returns 100% to the employer.
