Quick Notes
WHO IS THIE?
THIE stands for Texas Hospital Insurance Exchange. We are an insurance company that has been providing coverage to health care facilities for over 40 years.
WHAT IS A RECIPROCAL EXCHANGE?
THIE is a reciprocal exchange — meaning THIE subscribers share ownership and have a vested interest in its success. When THIE profits, we distribute surplus back to our subscribers. Subscribers share profits and losses in the same proportion as the amount of insurance they purchase, so premiums paid become an investment
WHAT IS A SUBSCRIBER?
A subscriber is anyone who carries a policy with THIE.
WHAT SERVICES DOES THIE PROVIDE?
THIE offers a full range of coverage including:
- Medical Professional Liability
- Workers’ Compensation
- Commercial General Liability
