Who are Archer’s typical client contacts?
For self-insured clients, our contacts are generally risk managers or finance professionals (such as accountants and CFOs). Sometimes, our self-insured relationships are managed through commercial insurance brokers.

Self-Insured FAQs
Does Archer support new and existing self-insured programs?
Yes, we support both new and existing programs. If your organization is new to the self-insured space, we strongly recommend you work with an actuarial firm who will take the time to help you understand the nuances of the process.
Will I have a big reserve increase/decrease if I engage a new actuary?
Based on our experience, this is an unlikely scenario. At Archer, we appreciate the value of a stable self-insured program. Volatility in reserve estimates commonly stems from two sources: changes in the loss experience, and changes in actuarial judgment. Of course, significant fluctuations in loss experience can sometimes lead to volatility in reserve estimates; however, changes in actuarial judgment need to be carefully monitored to prevent unnecessary overreactions to loss data.
Does Archer provide actuarial services for self-funded health care plans?
No. Archer Actuarial does not provide services for health care plans; that portion of the industry is served by actuaries who specialize in life and health disciplines.
Does Archer provide actuarial services for professional liability, such as medical malpractice?
Yes. We provide a range of actuarial services related to professional liability, including tail liability analyses for claims-made coverage.
