Blackwell Captive Solutions has partnered with Outfox Health to offer AI-powered health benefits navigation to employers in its group medical stop-loss captive.
The collaboration introduces Outfox’s generative AI copilot to new employer groups joining the captive, with the aim of improving employee engagement, reducing waste and enhancing long-term health outcomes.
The tool provides multilingual support and real-time translation, designed to increase benefits accessibility across diverse populations.
Outfox is already used by major US health plans and marks this as its first entry into the group medical stop-loss captive space.
According to Blackwell, the partnership reflects a strategy to deliver cost-efficient guidance to employees while safeguarding the financial sustainability of the captive.
A study from the Integrated Benefits Institute estimates that poor health costs US employers approximately US$575 billion annually in financial and productivity losses.
Scott Byrne, president of Blackwell Captive Solutions, says: “By embedding Outfox into our captive design, we are giving employees the guidance they need and helping employers contain costs effectively.
“It is a strategic move to protect the financial health of the captive while improving real-world outcomes.”
Beth Ann Lopez, founder and CEO of Outfox Health, adds: “We are excited to help their members get more value from their benefits — and support employers in lowering healthcare costs.”
