Transitioning to Self Insurance
Making the transition from a fully
insured program to a self insured program comes with many exciting
challenges and questions. At BerkleyMed, we work with first time
self insureds and their brokers in ways above and beyond the norm
to help make the transition as seamless as possible. As
your partner, we share in your desire to build an effective program
based on best practices to achieve optimal outcomes. 
In our experience, we have found that many new self insured organizations have questions, such as:
- How much time will I spend managing my risk financing program?
- Who can I turn to if I need support with my self insured program?
- How will our day to day risk management and claims adjudication practices change?
By working closely with your broker,
BerkleyMed is able to assist you in not only answering these
questions, but also providing a smooth transition to self insurance
through risk financing and risk mitigation strategies that allow
you to ease into this new financial business strategy.
