Only a select group of leading California employers are capturing the benefits and rewards self-insurance offers.

Why not you?

Employers who self-insure consistently point to four advantages:
* Greater control
* Improved outcomes
* Lower overall cost
* Peace-of-mind

And there’s more—through the Alternative Security Program (ASP), qualified self-insured employers don’t have to post costly ILOC collateral. The cost to participate has remained stable for years—and is often significantly lower than traditional alternatives.

That’s one of the reasons more employers are choosing self-insurance over high deductible policies.

Self-insurance isn’t new—it’s been a stable, proven approach for over a century.

Learn more about self-insurance and the ASP, and how these alternatives might be the right solution for your company.

The ASP is a program of the California Self-Insurers' Security Fund - CASISF.

If you’re exploring smarter ways to manage workers’ comp costs and outcomes, it may be time to take a closer look.

New Study: Self-Insured Employers Save an Average of 19% on Workers' Compensation Costs

A new actuarial study commissioned by the California Self-Insurers' Security Fund (SISF) and conducted by Bickmore Actuarial found that California self-insured employers pay 14% to 22% less for workers' compensation than employers purchasing traditional insurance policies—an average savings of 19%.

The study found these savings are driven by eliminating many of the costs built into traditional insurance premiums, including insurer profit, commissions, marketing expenses, and administrative overhead.

As workers' compensation insurance costs continue to rise, self-insurance offers qualified employers greater control over their programs while delivering meaningful long-term cost savings.
