30% Fixed Workers Comp Dividend
Members of PSIvet have exclusive access to the largest workers' compensation fixed dividend ever offered to veterinary hospitals in the state of Florida. If you currently have workers' comp insurance for your hospital and you are looking to save money on insurance, this is for you!
Workers' compensation is vital to protect your business if an employee suffers a work-related injury or illness. Your annual insurance cost is calculated based on your gross yearly payroll relative to the state-approved rate. However, since the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation strictly controls the rate, the only way insurers can differentiate themselves is by offering policyholders a dividend.
A workers' comp dividend allows qualifying policyholders to share in the profitability of their policy when they have proven they have successfully controlled claims. The dividend represents profits earned by the insurer and shared with the policyholder. So on the surface, a dividend feels like a rebate - and it is. Unfortunately, however, most insurers either choose not to offer a dividend or, at best, a very small one that degrades with each claim you file. But at Vetinsure, we challenged the status quo and changed the paradigm.
In 2017, Vetinsure introduced the largest fixed dividend ever offered, at that time, to the Florida veterinary community at 15% fixed. Due to the program's rapid growth and excellent performance, we are pleased to announce the dividend has been upgraded to 30% fixed effective January 1, 2022.
If you are an existing Vetinsure client, your policy will be automatically upgraded when it renews.
Group purchasing power
What makes this benefit a great value, other than the size of the dividend, is that your eligibility is no longer weighed on your claim performance, but rather the claim performance of the entire group of participating PSIvet members! Even if you have claims, you can still be eligible to receive a dividend!
No local agent or national association can offer you a workers comp benefit this strong. If you have your workers comp policy through any other agent, you are leaving money on the table.

Group purchasing is a "no-brainer"

Dividends Matter
Florida is truly unique when it comes to workers comp. If you were in almost any other state, your agent could show you different rates from multiple insurers and negotiate the best rate based on your claim history.
However, the rate of workers' compensation in Florida is set by the state. So, regardless of which carrier you may have, the rate is the same.
There are factors that can alter your premium, such as an NCCI Experience Modifier or Drug-Free Workplace Credit. But your Experience Modifier can hurt you if your claim history is active, which can result in you being surcharged. And while a Drug-Free Workplace is a fantastic deterrent for poor employee decisions, the discount on your policy is only 5% annually.
A workers' compensation dividend is the only way insurers can truly differentiate themselves and failure to obtain the best dividend can leave your hard-earned money on the table.
Not only is the PSIvet program offering the largest fixed dividend in state history to veterinarians, but you are also protected and shielded by the performance history of all participating members which helps insulate your policy and protect your dividend!
