First Chicago Insurance Company ("FCIC") has launched a paratransit insurance program in Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
"For the past 100 years, First Chicago Insurance Company has evolved in order to ensure the insurance products we offer are in line with our customer's needs. Our new paratransit insurance program complements and expands our core commercial auto expertise in taxi and limousine. It demonstrates FCIC's ability to recognize our customer's unique and changing business needs and respond by creating an insurance program that helps protect and fosters future growth," said Mark Jatczak, vice president of commercial lines underwriting at FCIC.
The paratransit market is defined as non-emergency medical transportation ("NEMT") for ambulatory and non-ambulatory consumers to doctor appointments and physical therapy and to-and-from work or school. All rides are pre-arranged and no medical treatment can be administered.
"When purchasing insurance for your paratransit company, it is important to work with an agency that truly understands the industry. The paratransit sector is poised for major growth in the coming years. It is important that business owners work with a trusted partner who can not only provide an insurance policy, but also advise on how to best navigate the changing passenger transportation landscape. For this reason, FCIC focuses on working with select agencies that have proven expertise in this niche segment," Mr. Jatczak added.
Mr. Jatczak concluded, "FCIC is a forward thinking, customer focused insurance provider that has built a commercial auto division with a reliable history of developing insurance products in line with our customers' needs. FCIC has successfully built several transportation network insurance products in this niche market. Our most recent product, the paratransist insurance program, expands our commercial delivery network."
