National Interstate Launches Ambulance Operator Alternative Risk Transfer Program

National Interstate Insurance Co. has launched MEDIC, a new alternative risk transfer (ART) program catering to for-profit emergency and non-emergency ambulance operators. MEDIC will be open to operators nationwide, and will complement the traditional insurance product currently offered by National Interstate. The company is now seeking operators with a solid track record in the ambulance industry to become founding members of this ART program.

National Interstate will market MEDIC directly through retail brokers, and is currently accepting new producers. The coverage package includes auto liability, auto physical damage, workers’ compensation, general liability, employee benefits liability, professional liability, and employment practices liability insurance coverages. Additional coverages such as umbrella, property, and inland marine are also available outside of the captive program.

National Interstate is an active member of the Ambulance Association of America.
