Roundstone launches Ohio captive

Insurance organisation Roundstone Management has partnered with the Colombus Chamber of Commerce to offer self-funded health plans to employers with 20-500 employees in Ohio.

Gene Pompili, Roundstone’s senior vice president of sales, said: “We’re excited to partner with a highly respected organisation like the Columbus Chamber of Commerce and Wells Fargo. We’ve been working closely to build a unique group captive solution for mid-market employers. We look forward to introducing this to the Columbus area and bringing a tremendous solution to the employers.”

Michael Dalby, chief executive officer of the Columbus Chamber of Commerce, added: “The partnership will help us bring more value to our members here in central Ohio. It’s offerings like this that give small and medium-sized businesses the support they need to grow and thrive.”

Jamie Zelewicz, vice president of Wells Fargo Insurance, said: “We have assembled the A team with Medical Mutual, Nationwide, Roundstone and Wells Fargo. This fresh approach offers Chamber members a unique solution to leverage the purchasing power of the Chamber, minimise expenses and risk, and position themselves to share in underwriting profits.”
