Term Of The Day – Associate in Reinsurance (ARe)

The Associate in Reinsurance designation generates little discussion in the Workers Comp world.  Without reinsurance some self insured employers would find themselves in deep trouble. One of the most misunderstood areas of insurance is reinsurance. More than one Workers Compensation insurance carrier has failed by not properly securing reinsurance or not properly or untimely reporting the risk of the large claims to the reinsurer.
