Can anyone provide me with information on how an ER with 50 or less employees can become PSI.

Thanks,

Rose

A Protected Self-Insurance Program is an alternative method for financing risk. Under a PSI, a company retains the mathematically calculated cost of risk within its organization but transfers the catastrophic risk with specific and aggregate limits to an insurer.

Here's an overview from Arthur J. Gallagher.

For the nuts & bolts of how to go about it, you'll need to contact an insurance agent. I'm not aware of the pros and cons, or even if there are requirements for small versus large companies to participate.

Hope that helps!

The regulatory framework for permissive self-insurance is set forth in CCR starting at section 15201. I don't recall off hand a specific requirement as to number of employees, but the requirement for posting a surety, the reporting requirements, outside audit, etc. etc. make self-insurance for a small employer highly impracticable.
