Hall County will raise its stop-loss threshold for workers’ medical plans beginning in 2016 in the hopes of generating health care savings over the long term. Employers like Hall County purchase stop-loss coverage from private insurers to protect them against catastrophic losses on employee health plans. The Board of Commissioners voted Tuesday to raise the limit to $225,000 from $175,000.
