History

The Ohio Plan was formed in 1988 in response to the property and casualty insurance market conditions which had deteriorated to a point where many governmental entities were forced to either accept reduced coverage at unsustainable premium levels or go without coverage altogether. Governed by a Board of Directors, currently comprised of 11 officials elected from the Plan's Membership, The Ohio Plan is designed specifically for political subdivisions such as: cities, counties, villages, townships, libraries, and special districts (including: park and recreation districts; fire protection and ambulance districts; waste and waste water districts; etc.)  The Ohio Plan provides a combined property and casualty program written on occurrence forms.  Today, the Ohio Plan has over 600 members, making it one of the largest and most successful alternative insurance programs in the State of Ohio.

Again in response to concerns by members to provide quality affordable healthcare coverage to the employees and their families of the membership, the Ohio Plan has introduced the Ohio Plan Healthcare Consortium to provide a rate stabilizing, cost effective alternative.

Recently, the Board of The Ohio Plan Healthcare Consortium initiated a new fully funded self-insured program combining the savings of a well-administered group of plans with the protection of specific and aggregate reinsurance to member organization. As a result of years of thoughtful research and planning, The Ohio Plan Healthcare Consortium is pleased to offer the opportunity for qualifying members to participate in various health insurance plan options.
