Get In TouchWhether you need assistance developing and managing a line of insurance, determining the appropriate premium to charge, filing rates with regulators, or knowing how much you should have in reserve, our group of insurance and risk experts can help. More than half of our credentialed actuaries have experience working at P&C and health insurance companies or reinsurance companies prior to joining Merlinos and several in leadership positions at those carriers. We provide services to insurance carriers and state regulators, giving us broad exposure to the realm of pricing, reserving, and products from “both sides of the fence” that is not available to many actuaries. Our clients benefit from our unique and informed perspective.
Our insurance consultants and actuaries fully understand the inner workings of program administrator processes and InsurTech solution providers. We employ consultants that have worked with more than 30 managing general agencies (MGAs), managing general underwriters (MGUs), fronting companies, and more than 10 InsurTech companies. We also facilitate introductions to fronting carriers, reinsurers, InsurTech solution providers, policy administration companies, third-party administrators, audit support providers, and additional experts that are important to the successful implementation and operation of our clients’ insurance programs.
We assist insurance regulators across the United States with examination assistance, rate filing reviews, legislation and policy analysis, and troubled company assistance. This insight gives us a thorough understanding of the state and regulatory agency property, casualty, and health actuarial needs.
Over the past decade, Merlinos has assisted with the formation and operation of more than 200 alternative risk transfer mechanisms, including captives, risk retention groups, self-insurance funds, and workers’ compensation trusts. This work typically includes feasibility studies, which project the historical claims costs for the parent company while comparing these projections to benchmark rates charged in the competitive market.
