COAI is NOT a Group Aggregate.

Each Policy is completely an Individual Policy. We do not share limits in a group. Your policy will never be affected by anyone else’s claim in any way.

COAI simply wants to give our members an insurance policy that we all can be proud of. Our members have been loyal to our organization which is why it is so important for COAI to have insurance we all can be proud of. COAI does NOT get anything from the insurance company in return. This policy was put together strictly for the benefit of our members. All we want to do is offer our membership what they have asked for and deserve at a competitive price.

Only YOU can decide what’s best for you. Insurance is personal and must fit the individual’s needs and wants. COAI is very proud to offer this benefit to our membership and we hope our members will take advantage of it.

For questions or assistance, email American Specialty Insurance at Express@AmericanSpecialty.com and a team member will respond to you in a timely manner.
