About
Who we are—Experienced & entrepreneurial
Partners is already one of the country’s top 25 medical stop-loss insurance underwriters, and growing. We're staffed to handle a high volume of business and built to scale up. But we also give producers personalized service and direct access to underwriters, and we always will.
Partners is a direct-writing managing general underwriter and, with more than $100 million under management, we’re an industry leader in underwriting medical stop loss for self-insured plans. Our team is experienced, dynamic and known for world-class service, and for giving clients creative solutions and direct access to underwriters. Partners is a full-service firm. In addition to underwriting, we collect premiums and pay claims, and our expertise in clinical risk management saves clients millions of dollars every year.
Our business is backed by A-rated carriers and powered by partnerships with leading insurance administrators, consultants and brokers.

The partnership model
What’s in a name? At Partners, everything.
Here, we do things a little differently: The producers we work with are not just valuable customers, but true business partners. We work with the best of the best, give them great service and solutions, and help them maximize their stop loss relationship. It’s a model that works!
