What We Offer

Cost Stability And Premium Returns

For our members we provide reasonable premiums based on the unique exposures and loss experiences of long term care facilities. Insurance protection is statutory workers’ compensation for employee injuries with Employer Liability limits of $2,000,000. There are no deductibles on claim payments.

Over the past eight years, we have averaged an annual surplus return to members of $500,000. For most members this equals one month of free workers’ compensation premium! This is one of the wonderful benefits of Fund membership.

Claims Services

We want to help your injured employees get back to work as quickly as possible. Our goal is to provide thorough and fair claims adjusting. Our claims team strives to be responsive, efficient and compassionate. We work with you, the medical provider and the injured employee to investigate and resolve all claims promptly.
