It manages claims and offers risk management and cost-containment strategies for self-insured entities, including group self-insurance associations.

CCMSI differentiates itself by focusing on the self-insurance niche and serving organizations that bear their own insurance risks, rather than selling traditional insurance policies. The company’s goal is to help clients reduce claim costs and manage their self-insurance programs more effectively.
