How is Arlo different?

Arlo is built for groups that deserve better than the status quo. Here's what sets us apart:

  • Level-funded plans with reliable stop-loss protection — predictable costs without sacrificing coverage quality.

  • 100% surplus return — if the group runs well, they get the savings back. No questions asked.

  • Quotes in under 24 hours, no IHQ required — less friction for you, faster decisions for your clients.

  • Transparent PBM and comprehensive cost containment — no hidden spread pricing, no surprises.

  • Simple, fast implementations — we don't make you jump through hoops to get a group live.

  • Customer service that actually shows up — for you and for members.

Does Arlo write specific and aggregate stop-loss?

Arlo writes aggregate-only policies. We find this article to be very helpful in explaining the benefits of agg-only coverage.

What network does the Arlo plan use?

Arlo plan members have access to the Cigna PPO network — one of the largest nationwide networks in the country.

Who is your pharmacy benefits manager?

Arlo partners with SmithRx, a fully transparent PBM with no hidden spread pricing. Members can fill prescriptions at major retail pharmacies including CVS, Walgreens, Costco, and Walmart.

Who is Arlo's TPA?

Arlo works with Yuzu Health, a tech-forward TPA built for modern self-funded plans. Yuzu powers claims administration, member ID cards, and real-time plan data — so groups always know where they stand.

What member support does Arlo offer?

Every Arlo member has access to a dedicated Member Advocate — a real person who can help with benefits questions, claims, and provider searches. Here's what to expect:

  • We support our members via chat, text, and email

  • Our response time is under 3 minutes

  • We're here to help from 8-5 CT, Monday - Friday

Do you offer virtual care?

Yes — Arlo Virtual Care is included on all plans at no cost to the member (even folks on HSA-eligible plans). Employees and their dependents get 24/7 access to board-certified doctors for prescription refills and common conditions.

What are Arlo on-demand labs?

Arlo On-Demand Labs gives every member one complimentary lab test per year — at no cost to them. It's a simple way to empower employees to take a proactive look at their health on their own terms.

Members choose from five panels based on their personal health goals:

  1. Annual wellness panel

  2. Cardiometabolic health

  3. Men's & women's hormones

  4. Fatigue panel

  5. STI screening

What are the Arlo Clear plans?

Arlo Clear plans simplify the member experience by eliminating deductibles and coinsurance entirely. All in-network services are covered on a copay-only basis — members always know what they'll pay before they go.

Clear plans are a great fit for groups that want to offer rich benefits without asking members to budget for unexpected cost-sharing.
