Background and Overview on Captive Services and the UC: • Presented by: - Grace Crickette, UC Chief Risk Officer
Key insights gained from the feasibility study: • The current self-insured program is very cost effective and moving it to a captive would increase costs. • A JPA is the least expensive method of covering 1st party exposures • A captive offers more comprehensive benefits than a JPA, because it can cover both 1st and 3rd party exposures. • Although a captive is more expensive to operate than a JPA, the additional opportunities created from covering 3rd party exposures make the captive the best option. The additional profit generated from 3rd party exposures will more than offset additional operating expense and creates a more comprehensive program.
ART Strategy Overview: • Captive • Create a Profit Center • Eligibility for Federal Terrorism Funds • Formalized Treatment of Uninsured Risks • Improved Underwriting Discipline
Professional Liability • Many higher education entities insure medical malpractice in their entities • Can be both domestic and overseas (where legally permissible) • Can combine affiliates, e.g., other medical groups, non-employed physicians • Prevents wasted finger pointing and combines defense • Allows access to affordable cover in hard markets • Helps retain physicians • Can combine tax paying and non-tax paying e.g. using Reciprocal Risk Retention Groups • Allows full understanding of all risk exposures – patterns emerge to show best focus for loss control dollars • Allows cover to be manuscripted, e.g., inclusion of educators liability
Construction • University already has a UCIP program • Projects above $25m • SIR with insurance layered above • Captives often used to retain the primary layers • Increase the retention as retained earnings build • Sometimes used for surety subject to: • Bonds being acceptable to parties requesting them • Captive is not admitted – using a front may not reduce costs, as credit risk is the same (not an indemnification contract) • Captive may have to get a rating • California does not have captive legislation, so bonds would not be from admitted insurer • May be able to provide surety for subs – Subguard type arrangement
Income Generation • Reinsurance of Student Programs/Vendor Programs • Program remains fronted by commercial insurer • Captive shares in premium and risk (quotashare basis) • Profits can be used to fund other programs to ensure no perception issues
