In case of a stop-loss treaty the reinsurer takes over that part of the risk that exceeds a given amount y1. We will deduce bounds on a modified stop-loss treaty where the liability of the reinsurer is limited to y2–y1 in case the claim amount exceeds y2. Upper and lower bounds of this modified stop-loss premium are obtained as a simple application of results obtained earlier by the first author.
