AVP, Facilities Underwriting
About this role
Associate Vice President, Facilities Underwriting (Remote)
Company Description
Healthcare providers spend roughly $20B annually on premiums for medical professional liability (“MPL”) insurance, $7B of which is spent by physicians. Primarily selling through brokers, insurance carriers today often operate at an underwriting loss and employ outdated underwriting processes. The current environment favors the entry of a new model featuring modern, data-driven underwriting with a more efficient sales model targeting the best risks.
Indigo Technologies, backed by leading investors Rubicon Founders and Oak HC/FT, aims to address this issue by utilizing alternative data and artificial intelligence to more accurately price medical malpractice insurance. By offering potential cost savings, Indigo Technologies will enable providers to reallocate resources to invest more directly in patient care. We at Indigo are committed to creating enduring value by making a measurable impact on the healthcare industry
