Industry Pioneers
In 1974, Jeff Brougher pioneered a new concept in the insurance industry: self-funded benefit plans for small to medium-sized businesses. Until then, only large corporations were able to afford the staff it took to maintain a self-funded plan. Utilizing the provisions of ERISA, Mr. Brougher created innovative, flexible stop loss insurance products to help small business enjoy the benefits of self-funding while controlling their risk exposure.
Throughout the next decade, Brougher’s company was widely recognized for its industry leadership, as it became the largest managing general underwriter of stop loss insurance in the U.S. for several years. The company provided employers with as few as 11 employees with the cost savings and plan control offered by self-funding.
Today, the Broughers continue their tradition of excellence with IMG-Stop Loss, a company made up of seasoned stop loss professionals. With more than 200 years of combined experience in the stop loss business, the staff of IMG-Stop Loss is among the most qualified in the industry today. A wholly owned subsidiary of International Medical Group®, a worldwide leader in designing, distributing and administering global health care benefits, IMG-Stop Loss’ committed team provides employers with the right stop loss solutions based on their individual requirements.
As managing general underwriter for stop loss insurance, IMG-Stop Loss determines risk, issues policies and pays excess claims on behalf of Imperium Insurance Company. IMG-Stop Loss is the only underwriter whose standards have earned the financial backing of Imperium Insurance Company.
