SCC Named Receiver of Reciprocal of America (you are leaving the DFS website and opening a new browser window)
January 29, 2003 RICHMOND – The State Corporation Commission (“SCC”) today has
been named receiver by the Circuit Court of the City of Richmond for Reciprocal
of America (“ROA”) and ROA’s attorney-in-fact, The Reciprocal Group (“TRG”).
After an examination, the SCC’s Bureau of Insurance found ROA and TRG to be in a
hazardous financial condition.
ROA is a Virginia-domiciled insurance reciprocal writing primarily hospital
professional liability and workers’ compensation insurance. ROA and TRG are
headquartered in Glen Allen, Virginia.
ROA recently experienced financial difficulties because of poor claims
experience and the inability of its Bermuda-based reinsurer, First Virginia
Reinsurance, Ltd., to honor its reinsurance obligations. The Circuit Court has
appointed Commissioner of Insurance Alfred W. Gross as Deputy Receiver.
Commissioner Gross will make efforts to rehabilitate ROA and will oversee the
management of the company for the protection of its policyholders.
ROA will continue to pay all claims arising under ROA’s policies of insurance. A
moratorium has been placed on the payment of all other claims until the Deputy
Receiver completes his evaluation of ROA’s financial condition. ROA will no
longer issue new or renewal insurance policies.
The Bureau of Insurance continues to monitor the capacity of the insurance
market for professional liability insurance for health care providers.
Policyholders with questions about the receivership are encouraged to call the
SCC’s Bureau of Insurance. From within Virginia, the toll free number is (800)
552-7945. Callers may also dial direct at (804) 692-0467, or they may call ROA
