Our Culture and Business Model “Underwriting Trumps Sales” Since our core product offering is small group self-funded plans, our ability to continue to offer these products over the long-term is driven by the underwriting profitability of our overall pool of business. We follow a very disciplined approach to underwriting every risk, both as a new business and at renewal. Good risks receive favorable rates, poor risks are declined; the best risks will have an opportunity to participate in the underwriting profits on their account.
