Home About Us Benefits of Self Insurance Membership 2009 Educational Conference    

Benefits of Self-Insurance

  • Self-insured companies can form their own medical care networks for their employees to provide high quality care.
  • Employers can control and mitigate their own risk associated with worker injuries.
  • Medical costs and insurance bureaucracy costs and fees are all reduced through self insurance.  Return-to-work rates are improved.
  • Self-insurance leads to better health outcomes as the treating physicians, workers and employers are more familiar with job-related injuries and the best treatment options based on each own company’s experiences.
  • Self-insurance produces higher satisfaction rates among employees and employers regarding the workers’ compensation process on several levels including recovery of physical health, access and satisfaction of care, and lower costs to the employer.

Benefits of Membership

Over the years, TSIA has testified before legislative and administrative committees and boards, filed complaints and objections on proposed rules before the Texas Workers Compensation Commission and the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI).

We also advocate to protect the rights of companies trying to preserve the privilege of self-insurance.
To accomplish these goals, we regularly communicate with legislators and TDI officials about self-insurance issues to give our members a voice in the legislative and regulatory process.
In addition, TSIA communicates with our members through special bulletins to keep them apprised of developments in the regulated community. 

TSIA sponsors an annual educational conference, bringing together employers with respected speakers and regulators in the self-insurance and workers’ compensation communities. At these conferences, TSIA provides continuing education courses approved by TDI and the Texas Society for Certified Accountants. 

This year’s TSIA Educational Conference will be held in Austin, at the Omni Hotel Downtown on June 8th and 9th, 2009.The conference is open to all employers.

TSIA will continue to use its influence and strength of membership to ensure that the interests of the self-insured member companies remain top of mind at TDI.
