Self-Insurance Institute of America, Inc. (SIIA) - http://www.siia.org

The Self-Insurance Institute of America, Inc. (SIIA), formed in 1981, is a dynamic, member-based trade association dedicated to protecting and promoting the business interests of companies involved in the self-insurance/alternative risk transfer (ART) industry, through educational programs and legislative and regulatory representation.

Members of the association include: Self-Insured Entities, Captive Insurance Companies, Risk Retention Groups, Third Party Administrators, Excess/Stop-Loss/Reinsurance Carriers, Global Health Care Entities/Facilities and other Industry Service Providers.

Self-Insurance (also referred to as self-funding) is an alternative risk transfer strategy used by tens of thousands of employers across the country to finance their group health care and Workers' Compensation liabilities. Self-Insurance has become an increasingly attractive option for many employers due to the rising costs associated with health care and Workers' Compensation commercial insurance.
