MSH International, citing favorable U.S. state regulations allowing self insurance for groups with as few as ten plan members, along with the growth of the medical stop-loss business, in October 2017 announced a new stop-loss product for self-insured expatriate and third-country national (TCN) customers that includes medical benefits as well as life and disability options.

President and CEO Philippe de Dreuzy said “Based on my 25 years’ experience I am thrilled to present new cost-effective medical stop-loss solutions supported by consistent service delivery, fully enabled by MSH’s proven global technology platforms.”

With more than 165 million lives covered under self-insured medical programs in the U.S., buyers and brokers have expressed an interest to implement similar approaches for international plans.

MSH International, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Paris, France-based SIACI SAINT HONORE Group, is one of the largest and most comprehensive suppliers of expatriate insurance services in the world, with more than 330,000 insured participants across 200 countries.
