About Us
Prodigy is full-service Managing General Underwriter (MGU), providing medical stop-loss coverage in all 50 states to self-funded employers with 51 or more employees.
With offices and team members throughout the country, Prodigy understands the dynamics of regional challenges facing our broker and Third-Party Administrator (TPA) partners.
Our Origins
Prodigy emerged from John Youngs’ drive to bring transparency and access to a notoriously obscure and challenging industry. His vision to help employer groups get affordable, quality care for their employees led him to form a company where he could take on the risk.
Thus, in 2008, Prodigy was born.
Now, with offices and team members across the country, we’ve grown to be a national full-service Managing General Underwriter (MGU) providing medical stop-loss coverage in all 50 states to self-funded employers with 51 or more employees.
“It’s got to be the client first. And to me, the client is not just the employer group, but it’s all the way through to the individual patient level.”
John Youngs, CEO
