Rockhill Underwriting Management announced today that it has established a new division focusing on the Healthcare Industry to be lead by Rob Jurgel as the Senior Vice President and head of Healthcare Underwriting. Rob has twenty years of experience in the industry, including the past fourteen at AIG with a solid blend of both home office and field experience while at AIG Healthcare.

Working with Rob will be Tracy Schulz and Justin Magee. Tracy has twenty years of underwriting experience, most recently with Medical Protective, focusing on medical malpractice and Long Term Care facilities. Justin came to Rockhill from AIG Healthcare and has over four dedicated years of underwriting experience each with increasing responsibility.

Rockhill Healthcare will initially focus on Long Term Care and five focused classes of Miscellaneous Facility business, all written on a non-admitted basis. The targeted segments are either growing rapidly, underserved or not well understood by the general underwriting community. By focusing on a limited number of defined classes of business, management believes that it can develop an underwriting advantage.

Distribution will be through a limited network of surplus lines wholesale brokers and will be exclusive to those with an expertise and commitment to healthcare business. The wholesale focus will be unique in this space and lead to opportunities in this very fragmented, and growing, marketplace.
