Within all lines of insurance, a provider’s services become redundant without the support of a financially stable and committed underwriter. An underwriter in the staff absence insurance sector supplies the provider with the financial capacity to pay school’s claims. Therefore, having a reputable underwriter with a good credit rating is imperative in allowing the provider to meet its financial obligations.
It is not uncommon in the staff absence insurance market for providers to be misleading, or even dishonest in relation to the level of cover they offer or the credit rating of the insurer that underwrites their policies.
Therefore, when taking out an insurance policy it is worth asking...
Which insurer underwrites your policy?
What credit rating do they have?
Can you provide documentation to demonstrate their ability to pay claims?
