Supportive Services Insurance is a core offering from AFC Insurance Inc.'s Health & Human Services program. Built for referral service providers who support individuals with developmental or intellectual disabilities, this program delivers tailored insurance solutions that address the unique operational and professional exposures of these organizations. Overview of the Program From AFC Insurance Inc. AFC Insurance Inc., operating as a program administrator with access to multiple carrier markets, focuses on niche human services programs. Through this Supportive Services Insurance program, AFC provides flexible placement options and responsive underwriting designed for agencies and nonprofits that coordinate care, make referrals, and advise families — rather than providing direct medical treatment or residential services. Ideal Accounts and Appetite This program is best suited for organizations that provide structured referral and guidance services for people with developmental or intellectual disabilities, including: Referral services for individuals with developmental disabilities Referral services for individuals with intellectual disabilities Good-fit examples you may see in your book include a nonprofit that helps families identify appropriate community supports, or an agency that matches clients to vocational or day-program resources without providing hands-on care or housing. You may also place multi-site referral networks and small community-based coordinators under this program. Coverage Highlights and Advantages AFC’s Supportive Services Insurance program offers broad protection tailored to referral providers, including: Package policies combining General and Professional Liability Endorsements that extend coverage to volunteers and independent contractors as insureds Optional Key Employee Replacement endorsement Optional Extended Coverage endorsement with Blanket Additional Insured language Umbrella liability capacity Property and Auto coverage (subject to restrictions) Abuse and Molestation coverage where appropriate These features help agents place accounts that require both professional liability protection for referral advice and general liability for day-to-day operations, especially for nonprofit and social service models with mixed staffing arrangements. Underwriting Notes and Minimum Premiums Underwriting is submission-specific; AFC evaluates each account based on services offered, controls in place, and loss history. Minimum premiums vary with the risk profile and coverage choices. Note these common ineligible classes that fall outside the program’s appetite due to higher or more complex exposures: Adoption agencies where adoption comprises more than 25% of operations Assisted living, elder care, and residential care facilities Birthing centers Big Brothers/Big Sisters programs that include overnight activities Correctional facilities and violent youth lockdown centers Foster care agencies and psychiatric hospitals Public housing authorities Sex offender programs Standalone special events or fundraisers Student cooperative housing If you’re unsure whether a client fits, provide a brief submission outlining services, client population, staff/volunteer structure, and any existing policies or risk controls — AFC underwriters will review and advise on placement options.
