Irwin Siegel Agency, Inc.

Key programs administered include, among others: Social Service Organizations, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Headstart Organizations, Para-Transit Programs, Developmental Disability Services, and Addiction Treatment Centers

Irwin Siegel Agency, Inc. (ISA), is a leading provider of insurance and risk management products tailored to the social service field.

Incorporated in 1960, ISA introduced the first property and casualty insurance package for developmental disability service providers over 35 years ago. Soon to follow were programs tailored to addiction treatment and rehabilitation facilities along with behavioral healthcare and other social service programs.

Today, numerous insurance providers cater to the needs of this unique niche. However, few can provide the knowledge and understanding that ISA has developed over the years. Through field involvement, industry specific risk management resources, and extraordinary underwriting expertise, ISA has stayed true to its mission of “Supporting Those Who Support Others.”™

ISA’s core product offerings are focused on developmental disability agencies, addiction treatment centers, behavioral healthcare programs, and community/social service providers. Both for profit and not-for-profit organizations are eligible.

New classes within the social service field have recently become eligible for ISA’s package products. These include Big Brothers/Big Sisters programs, Boys and Girls Clubs, headstart programs, community action agencies, para-transit services, and rural transportation providers. The evolving of our programs, while remaining focused on our niche, has been a key element in ISA’s growth.

While expanding program offerings to the field of social services, ISA also strives to develop just the right coverage options to meet the needs of an ever-changing field. With the breadth of coverage offered through our package products, brokers and agents can be confident that they are providing the best coverage options to their clients. Comprehensive package policies include property, general liability, professional, abuse/molestation, crime, inland marine, auto, umbrella, and special events. Coverage enhancements are available for volunteers, environmental and pollution, HIPAA protection, directors and officers, and employment practices liability.

Our risk management department continues to develop specialized resources to assist our customers in their endeavors to effectively manage risk and control losses. In conjunction with AIG, loss control training seminars and teleconferences that address important field-related issues are only a click away. An inclusive video lending library and a variety of field-related safety and prevention materials, as well as online training capabilities that ensure the most up-to-date and relevant educational opportunities, are available. In the event of a loss, ISA’s claim advisors partner with attorneys who specialize in the social service industry and are experienced with challenges faced by these organizations.

Irwin Siegel Agency takes justifiable pride in a special industry accolade it earned last year. From a field of more than 100 program administrators considered, ISA won the coveted 2007 Daniel P. McMahon CPCU Award for Underwriting Excellence. This award salutes an administrator’s ability to uphold the highest standards of underwriting, and it recognizes distinction in the areas of automation, policy issuance, profitability, and overall customer service. The McMahon Award is presented annually by AIG Programs, a division of Lexington Insurance Company.

ISA is much more than just another option for your social service risks. We offer underwriters who are experienced in far more than insurance, and a risk management team whose involvement in the field assists in the development of unique resources relevant to the issues facing today’s providers. Add in a financially stable “A+” rated carrier (American International Group), 35 years of “Supporting Those Who Support Others,”™ and a level of service and understanding that bring back a personal side to the insurance business, and you’ll distinctly see that Irwin Siegel Agency clearly stands for full service.

We look forward to hearing from you.
