Alphabet’s Verily Targets Employer Health Insurance With Swiss Re Partnership

Alphabet Inc’s life sciences division Verily is partnering with reinsurer Swiss Re to launch a unit to provide stop-loss insurance, a financial product purchased by employers to cover unexpected and large employee healthcare costs.

The subsidiary, Coefficient Insurance Company, will be backed by the commercial insurance arm of Swiss Re , which is also making a minority investment in the new company, Verily said on Tuesday.

“Coefficient is aimed at reducing blind spots and providing greater cost control mechanisms for self-funded employers,” Verily Chief Executive Officer Andy Conrad said in a statement.

Self-insurance arrangements are increasingly commonplace among larger employers, who typically pay health insurers to manage their healthcare benefits, but cover the costs of those claims themselves.
