FSRs summarize Demotech’s opinion of the financial stability of an insurer regardless of general economic conditions or the phase of the underwriting cycle.

Since 1985, Demotech has served the insurance industry by assigning accurate, reliable and proven FSRs for Property & Casualty insurers and Title underwriters.
Midwest Insurance Group was formed in 2004 by Indiana nursing homes in response to escalating professional liability premiums and a lack of capacity in the traditional commercial lines market. Policyholders with Midwest Insurance Group are provided professional and general liability coverage on either a claims-made or occurrence basis. All policyholders participate 100% in Indiana’s Patient Compensation Fund (PCF), which currently has a statutory cap of $1.25 million. (This cap is set to increase from $1.25 million to $1.65 million on July 1st, 2017, and again to $1.8 million in 2019). Currently, Midwest Insurance Group provides $250,000 in Professional Liability and General Liability limits with the state taking on the next $1 million of any one claim. Midwest Insurance Group is also reinsured by Lloyd’s of London, with an “A” rating and over $2 billion of assets. This organization provides extra insurance coverage for catastrophic events and frequency of claims.
Caitlin Morgan is pleased to work with members of Midwest Insurance Group in helping them to gain the many benefits of an RRG: stable insurance rates, broad coverage, effective loss control and risk management, favorable loss experience and access to reinsurance markets.
