Aviation

Aviation was the first line of insurance provided by Tokio Marine HCC. Since 1974, the company underwrites in the U.S. in general aviation, a category which includes many types of aircraft from helicopters to home made private plans, corporate jets, and antique "warbirds". The company's insurance for aviation includes hull, liability, spares, cargo, and war, as well as many unique coverages. Altogether, HCC Aviation insures approximately 45,000 aircraft in the United States and more than 60 countries worldwide. Almost all the company's aviation insurance is written on three of the corporation's insurance companies: Houston Casualty Company, US Specialty Insurance Company, and Avemco Insurance Company.

Avemco

Avemco Insurance Company has been serving the needs of U.S. general aviation since the 1950s. Avemco was a stand-alone NYSE company and acquired by Tokio Marine HCC in 1997. Avemco sells direct to the consumer through its national call center in Frederick, Maryland, and online through its website. Avemco provides traditional coverage on its standard policy. It also provides unique, non-owned aircraft policy coverage which protects renters and borrowers of general aviation aircraft. Both the aircraft and non-owner policies can be extensively modified by endorsement to meet the needs of the customer. An integral part of the aircraft community, Avemco invests considerable resources in loss prevention efforts and insurance education through air shows, Federal Aviation Administration and industry initiatives, articles in aviation trade journals, and other forums.

Houston Casualty Aviation

Houston Casualty Company Aviation writes a combination of international and U.S. commercial aviation insurance with a primary focus on the needs of large commercial businesses and internationally based risks. All of HC Aviation's insurance involves commercial fixed and rotor wing business. It sells many types of insurance with particular emphasis on second and third tier airlines, helicopters, government, military, and police operations. It provides insurance to many South and Central American military (air forces), government, and police operations. Because these types of risks are non-commercial and some of the types of aircraft are military, they require special understanding and expertise from both an underwriting and claims perspective. Due to the unique nature of the business, no single policy is the same as each risk is written and the policy developed on a customized basis.

US Specialty Insurance Aviation

USSIC Aviation writes General Aviation and Special Risk insurance. The General Aviation insurance provides insurance through brokers and agents and represents a portfolio of commercial operations insurance including charter, cargo, aerial photography and many other "for hire purposes" aviation insurance. It provides coverage for commercial aircraft as well as private aircraft owned and operated by individuals. It offers coverage for rotor wing aircraft flown both for private and commercial purposes. In addition to hull and liability, General Aviation issues policies for airports which includes overages for premises, non-critical products, completed operations and hangar-keeper's legal liability. The Special Risks insurance offers coverage for aircraft that do not fit the typical definition of general aviation. These aircraft include antiques, classics, seaplanes, experimental aircraft, and warbirds. Pilots who wish to transition to more complex aircraft can obtain insurance through Special Risks. USSIC Aviation is a market leader for air show liability, insuring a majority of the nation's air shows each year. USSIC Aviation is the largest insurer of war-birds (that is, propeller and jet driven military surplus aircraft owned individually or held by aircraft museums). These aircraft are unique - often one of a kind - and obtaining the right insurance can be challenging. USSIC Aviation partners with aircraft owners and pilots to provide the coverage they need and to ensure the aircraft are operated and maintained in a safe manner.

Accident and Health

With the acquisition of LDG Management Company Incorporated in 1996, Tokio Marine HCC began writing medical stop-loss insurance and made a pivotal entry into the Life, Accident and Health industry. Through subsequent acquisitions and by maintaining a strong underwriting focus, the company has become a market leader in medical stop-loss insurance, as well as a solid player in the HMO reinsurance, provider excess, medical excess, sports disability, short term medical and international medical insurance markets.

Medical stop-loss insurance is the major component of the business segment. Medical stop-loss insurance provides employers that self-fund their employee health benefits protection against catastrophic loss. More than 3,500 employer groups and five million lives across the U.S. trust Tokio Marine HCC to protect their plan from unexpected catastrophic claims that can occur during a plan year. Aggregate and specific coverages are available to a diverse group of employers and providers, from those with as few as 50 covered lives to organizations employing thousands.

Short term medical insurance offers a solution for individuals transitioning between jobs, college students or recent graduates, children who are no longer eligible on their parents' plans due to age or status, those seeking an affordable alternative to COBRA, new employees waiting for group coverage to begin, and indidivuals not yet eligible for Medicare coverage.

Tokio Marine HCC also offers high-limit sports disability insurance to protect against the future loss of earnings of athletes who may become temporarily or permanently disabled and can no longer continue their professional sports career. Coverage is available for the team or individual players.
