Gradient AI partners with Connexure to streamline stop-loss underwriting and administration
Gradient AI has announced a partnership with Connexure that brings together Gradient AI's Risk Management Life Cycle solution and Connexure's ESLoffice platform. The focus: faster underwriting, tighter handoffs, and better decision quality for stop-loss carriers, MGUs, and underwriters in the self-funded market.
The integration blends predictive analytics with an underwriting and administration workbench built for stop-loss. By consolidating data and workflows in one place, teams can reduce rekeying, cut friction between functions, and make decisions with more context.
What this means for insurance teams
- Faster, more informed quotes and bind decisions powered by predictive insights inside existing workflows.
- Fewer manual handoffs between underwriting and administration, reducing errors and rework.
- Consistent application of underwriting guidelines with data and decisions tracked in one system.
- A smoother experience for carriers, MGUs, TPAs, and brokers working on complex self-funded cases.
Why it matters now
Stop-loss programs depend on timely, high-quality data and disciplined execution. Pairing workflow automation with analytics helps teams manage volatility, strengthen risk selection, and move from quote to issue with fewer delays.
Connexure notes the partnership supports its mission to unify the self-funded ecosystem through system interoperability. Gradient AI highlights that combining end-to-end workflow with predictive insights addresses a major industry challenge and creates measurable value for joint customers.
Impact for current customers
Organizations already using both platforms can expect a more integrated experience with quicker decision cycles and clearer visibility across underwriting and administration. The result is improved outcomes without forcing teams to change how they work.
Context for stop-loss and self-funding
Stop-loss coverage protects self-funded employers from large or unexpected claims. Strong data pipelines and underwriting discipline are essential to program performance. For more on stop-loss coverage, see the NAIC overview here.
