Hi, I’m
Stephanie Chtata
For the past 35 years, I’ve lived and breathed insurance, with the last 25 years focused specifically on stop-loss insurance. It’s more than just my specialty — it’s my passion. With a Master’s degree in Business and Healthcare Administration, I’ve dedicated my career to making stop-loss insurance understandable, practical, and actionable for industry professionals like you.
Over the years, I’ve built and managed stop-loss programs, worked alongside TPAs, brokers, carriers, and public entities, and developed educational resources designed to bridge the gap between theory and real-world application.
Today, that mission has expanded beyond stop loss into comprehensive group benefits education and professional development.
I’ve chosen to focus on this niche because I’ve seen firsthand how critical — yet often misunderstood — stop-loss insurance and self-funding truly are.
While many shy away from the complexity, especially in the public sector arena, I’ve embraced it. Stop-loss insurance isn’t just another line item; it’s the backbone of level-funded and self-funded health plans, protecting employers from catastrophic and unpredictable claim costs.
My approach is simple: listen, educate, and provide solutions. Throughout my career, I’ve helped professionals transform complicated concepts into practical knowledge they can confidently apply in client meetings, renewals, underwriting discussions, claims situations, and strategic planning.
Through Slik Edu, I now provide:
-
Continuing Education (CE) courses
-
Educational video content and on-demand learning
-
Individual and team training programs
-
Real-world stop loss and group benefits education
-
Customized training designed around specific roles, goals, and experience levels
I’m especially passionate about helping professionals gain a deeper understanding of stop loss, self-funding, and group benefits so they can move beyond surface-level conversations and become trusted advisors to their clients.
I created these courses and training programs because I believe the right education changes careers. Whether you’re looking to earn CE credits, strengthen your technical expertise, train your team, or gain confidence in complex group benefit strategies, I’m here to help you navigate this industry with clarity and confidence
