Workers' Compensation Insurance

What Are The Types of Workers' Compensation Insurance?

There are three (3) types of workers’ compensation insurance:

Private

In the state of Michigan, most employers obtain workers compensation insurance through private insurance companies.

We work with several carriers that provide workers’ compensation coverage for our business customers.

Individual-Self Insurance

Financially sound employers are typically “self-insured.” However, in order to qualify as a self-insured entity, you must receive permission from the Workers' Disability Compensation Agency to move forward.

If you undergo this process, you must prove that you’re financially sound and able to pay claims when they’re submitted.

Group Self-Insurance

This is when groups of employers in the same industry pool their workers' compensation premiums for the purpose of meeting their obligations under the Workers Compensation Act (WCA).

This provides an alternative to commercial insurance; however, the Workers Compensation Agency must review and approve this plan annually.
