Lewis and Clark LTC Earn Financial Rating A, Exceptional

Lewis and Clark LTC Risk Retention Group, Inc. has earned a Financial Stability Rating® (FSR) of “A,” exceptional, from Ohio-based Demotech, Inc. This level of FSR is assigned to insurers who possess an exceptional ability to maintain a positive surplus as regards policyholders, maintain liquidity of invested assets, an acceptable level of financial leverage, reasonable loss and loss adjustment expense reserves and realistic pricing.

FSRs summarize Demotech’s opinion as to the financial stability of an insurer regardless of general economic conditions or the phase of the underwriting cycle. FSRs utilize statutory financial data that is based on insurance accounting principles prescribed or permitted by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC).

An insurer with this level of FSR meets the requirements of the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for professional liability insurance. This permits nursing facilities insured by Lewis and Clark to apply for HUD’s Section 232 Program.
