Michael’s Story

As a specialist in the healthcare and senior-care industries, Risk Transfer Insurance Alliance LLC (RTIA) handpicks only the best insurance partners for its clients. Founder and Senior Vice President Michael Hornblas explains, "We're very sensitive to our clients' fragile bottom lines. It's important to match our care facility clients with insurance professionals who truly understand their unique business challenges."

He feels fortunate to have discovered such a quality partner in Continuing Care Risk Retention Group. "I've been working with Continuing Care and its program manager Magnolia for the past four years and I highly recommend their services," he says. "Everyone on the leadership team has a long-term care background. They speak the language, they understand the industry, and they're great people. I feel comfortable that they'll take good care of my clients."

As an affiliate of InterContinental Insurance Brokers, RTIA is New England's preeminent property and casualty insurance and risk management firm dedicated to the healthcare community. The company serves hospitals and clinics as well as long-term care, assisted living and managed care facilities. Over the years, it has built a stellar reputation by delivering tailored, best-in-class solutions.

One of the best-in-class solutions is risk management services. Continuing Care & Magnolia help RTIA clients prevent and mitigate liability claims with industry-tailored consulting and proactive tools. Michael says, "They exceed expectations with very credible, hands-on loss prevention advice, an innovative claims tracking and alert system, contractual reviews, and elopement policies and procedures. You don't get this kind of service from the big carriers."

Michael also appreciates Continuing Care's financial stability. "The company has proven it can outperform the industry's experience by carefully choosing its members and by diligently preventing and controlling claims. Members benefit by receiving affordable rates and exceptional rate stability." As a broker, Michael doesn't hesitate to recommend Continuing Care to his clients and to other specialty firms. He says, "Having Continuing Care Risk Retention Group as a partner opens doors and sharpens our competitive edge."
