Amwins Launches Exclusive Human Services and Behavioral Health Liability Product Backed by Leading “A” Rated Specialty Carriers

Amwins, the largest independent wholesale distributor of specialty insurance products in the U.S., today announced the launch of an exclusive Human Services and Behavioral Health solution within its Brokerage division. Backed by leading AM Best "A" rated non-admitted carriers, the product provides dedicated Professional Liability, General Liability, Sexual Abuse & Molestation (SAM) and Hired & Non-Owned Auto (HNOA) capacity to human services and behavioral health organizations operating in one of the most complex and capacity-constrained segments of the specialty E&S market.

The human services and behavioral health sector has faced sustained headwinds in recent years, including tightening capacity, increased carrier scrutiny of sexual and physical abuse exposure, changing litigation that promotes recurring lawsuit activity, statute of limitations reviver claims and rising minimum premiums that have left many organizations with few viable market options.

"The need for stable, long-term solutions in the human services and behavioral health sector has never been greater," said Joe Carlson, Executive Vice President with Amwins Brokerage. "By combining the support of highly rated carrier partners with dedicated Human Services-tailored coverage and meaningful capacity, we've created a program that gives retail agents a dependable option for clients in one of the market's most challenging segments."

The product is designed to serve a broad range of organizations, including some of the industry's most challenging classes of business, such as:

• Youth residential treatment facilities
• Foster care and adoption agencies
• Group homes for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities
• Halfway houses and large homeless shelters

And more - see the full list of classes here.

Coverage highlights include Professional Liability with medical malpractice, General Liability, dedicated Sexual Abuse & Molestation limits up to $1M/$3M, with higher limits available upon request, and Umbrella capacity up to $5M for select risks. The product offers flexible deductible and SIR options to accommodate a range of organizational structures.

"This product's quota share structure gives our retail partners an enhanced, flexible solution to help them address the evolving needs of human services and behavioral health organizations as they grow and adapt their service profiles," said Carlson.
