Berkley Accident and Health is set to strengthen its clinical support with Berkley Edge, aimed at helping clients to lower large claim costs and improving plan sponsors’ overall cost of health care.
After an analysis of its accident and health stop-loss block data from 2013 to 2017, Berkley revealed that its frequency of claims over $1 million has grown by more than 250 percent.
Berkley Edge offers guidance and health risk strategies to help clients better manage their total cost of health care.
The expanded programme includes a deeper investment in clinical resources, proactive review of 100 percent of claims/notices for all clients, health risk strategies for stop-loss group captives and streamlined process to serve clients more efficiently.
Berkley Edge is available at no additional cost to all stop-loss, group captive, and managed care clients.
Brad Nieland, president and CEO Berkley, said: “Berkley Edge has had a transformational impact on our clinical services programme to being more than just a ‘second set of eyes’ on large claims by offering proactive and programmatic analysis and expert advice.”
He added: “We have a well-documented track record of assisting our clients to lower their health care costs, and Berkley Edge further enhances our capabilities.”
