Shared Vendor Solutions
Our Mission
Acting as a service provider for various FAIR Plans, we will strive to reduce operating expenses by combining services for Plans where size and activity level may require the improved efficiencies achieved by centralized operations. We will deliver cost-effective quality services of optimum value to each Plan, while ensuring that the costs of the consolidated services and operations are as low as possible. We will continue to streamline and monitor the consolidated services we provide to FAIR Plans.
We will continuously evaluate our services to ensure we meet the needs of our insureds and the standards of our individual boards, member companies and Departments of Insurance. We understand that each FAIR Plan is ultimately responsible for their own operations and as a result will provide the appropriate oversight and guidance to all centralized operations.
