Individual Self-Insured Company Management
Today, we manage about six of those 25 self-insured businesses. The idea behind self-insurance is to actually write a check to pay for claims, but there are other requirements in the state of New Hampshire: you need to use a licensed third-party administrator, which would be us; you need to provide surety that you’re able to pay claims; you need to buy excess insurance so that catastrophic claims can be paid, and you have to do filings just like all the rest of the self-insurance market.
Self-insurance benefits companies that pay more than a half-million-dollar premium in a commercial insurance market. Self-insurance is a long-term proposition—once you start a self-insured product for your company, you need to own any claims that occur, so you could effectively run that program for 10, 15, or 20 years longer than planned. It requires careful consideration for a company to make the change, but it is worthwhile.
