Texas School Districts Experience Underwriting Miracle

Experience rating group health insurance is usually accurate most of the time within a margin of 5%. But that’s not always the case.

Over 50 Texas school districts have recently learned their reinsurance carrier will not offer to renew coverage due to heavy underwriting losses totaling over $50,000,000 in only 10 months into a 12 month contract.
