Nationally Recognized Healthcare Brokerage Team Joins Alliant Insurance Services

Posted on: Monday, 5 May 2008, 18:00 CDT

Alliant Insurance Services, one of the nation's largest specialty insurance brokerage firms, has announced that a team of six top property and casualty healthcare specialists led by Philip E. Reischman has departed Gallagher Healthcare to join Alliant Healthcare Solutions, the company's national healthcare practice.

Reischman, who served as Area President of Gallagher Healthcare and has more than 25 years in the healthcare provider insurance field, joins Alliant's Houston office and will share a leadership role at Alliant Healthcare Solutions with the group's current co-leaders, Executive Vice Presidents Freddie Nutt and Janet Hale.

Additional members of the brokerage team are: Hal E. Kinsey (St. Louis), James M. Fasone (Denver), Stephen L. Farr (Nashville), Joanne L. Taylor (Washington, D.C., area) and Valarie J. Allen (Houston).

"This union brings together the top two healthcare industry insurance teams in the U.S.," said Reischman. "Each broker has been a top individual performer with experience representing many of the nation's leading healthcare providers and organizations. The combined practice will have unparalleled capabilities to service this specialty sector."

Alliant CEO Tom Corbett said the company's ability to attract the highly experienced broker team is a reflection of Alliant's strong commitment to serving the specialized healthcare provider field.

"Phil and his team are highly respected in the industry, and their extensive market knowledge, industry relationships and leadership abilities will be a tremendous complement to those of Freddie and Janet and to the balance of our existing national practice," Corbett commented. "Together, Freddie, Janet and Phil will form the most experienced leadership team specializing in meeting the unique insurance needs of large healthcare providers and organizations."

Alliant Healthcare Solutions focuses on delivering a full range of solutions for the insurance and risk management perils faced by healthcare institutions, facilities, systems and organizations nationwide.

"Besides strengthening our presence in key markets around the country--including Houston, Dallas, Chicago, St. Louis, Nashville, Denver, and Tulsa--the addition of these highly experienced senior brokers greatly increases Alliant's strategic intellectual capacity in the fast-growing healthcare provider insurance arena," Nutt said.

"A key differentiator of Alliant Healthcare Solutions," Nutt continued, "is a focus on uncovering new and emerging risks--such as cyber liability--where many organizations are not fully aware of the issues involved or how their current policies might respond to those risks. In addition, our group offers specialized expertise in risk financing options and risk management solutions for these non-traditional risks, as well as traditional risks."
