is needed to offset removal of a stop loss receivable aged over 6 months from the Health
Trust financial statements. Regence did not send the aggregate claim information to the
Stop Loss carrier until after the run -out period. The City appealed the denial by the stop
loss carrier and expect the aggregate claim to be paid. Because the claim is now aged
over 6 months, it is prudent to remove it from the financial statements, to be compliant
with Idaho law.
