Self-insurance for workers’ compensation is a strategic choice to retain and fund losses directly instead of transferring them to a traditional carrier. Unlike standard policies, an individual self-insurance program requires a formal plan to pay claims as they occur—using operating cash or a dedicated reserve—along with compliance steps to meet state requirements. Caitlin Morgan Insurance Services helps agents and brokers evaluate, design and place Individual Self-Insurance Workers' Compensation programs. Our team brings programmatic experience and market access to guide you through feasibility analysis, regulatory filings, actuarial review, and vendor selection so your client’s program is structured and compliant from day one. Ideal Accounts and Appetite This solution is built for larger, financially stable employers that can demonstrate strong claims and safety management. Typical fits include manufacturers, large healthcare operations, colleges and universities, and sizable service organizations with robust loss-control programs. You might have a client with 500+ employees facing escalating premiums and limited control over claims handling — an individual self-insurance program can give them transparency, control, and potential long-term savings. Coverage Highlights and Advantages Self-insurance gives your client direct control over claims administration, loss prevention, and cash flow. Key benefits include: Customizable claims handling and selection of third-party administrators (TPAs) Improved cash flow and the ability to tailor reserve management Greater emphasis on workplace safety and loss prevention initiatives Potential cost savings over time for low-loss employers Applicants must also satisfy state-specific requirements such as surety bonds, reserve funding and periodic reporting. Caitlin Morgan supports compliance, actuarial review and provider selection to help ensure a sustainable program. Underwriting Notes Each submission begins with a feasibility and financial analysis.
