Benefits We Provide to Franchisors/Franchisees

Manchester Specialty delivers insurance products designed to respond to the diverse exposures faced by the home health care sector. Franchisors and franchisees benefit in partnering with us in several key areas:

• Franchisors gain continuity and consistency in coverage with our program for their franchisees, including streamlined policy terms, required limits, and deductibles.
• Coverage is “underwritten to the franchisor” and their franchise circular and requirements, which often translates into special rate and coverage consideration for many accounts over time.
• Franchisors have the ability to work with Manchester Specialty to manage and monitor ongoing compliance to insurance requirements for franchisees. We’ll provide ongoing feedback to the franchisor in the event of non-compliance, changes in coverage and other key issues. Having a standard template for insurance coverage is vital to the entire organization, as franchisors and franchisees can both be named in the event of a claim that may affect their brand.
• Franchisees can take advantage of a well-structured insurance program designed specifically for the home care industry.
• Franchisees can continue to maintain their local agent or broker relationship and access our program, a key benefit of our program. (We do not sell directly.)
• Franchisees have access to a wide variety of health care-specific on-line training courses, e-seminars, education, support, and risk management materials to help mitigate risk and prevent losses.

Our staff is committed to staying abreast of regulatory and other delivery-of-care changes that may result in emerging risks that require developing and enhancing insurance products with our insurers to respond to these exposures. We can also offer co-marketing and branded sales materials to franchisors to help educate their franchisees on the value of our insurance and risk management program to their bottom line, growth and profitability. Most importantly, we offer a unique combination of appropriate coverage, claims handling, loss control services and affordable pricing.
