CANOGA PARK, Calif. – The Free Speech Coalition (FSC) has partnered with Lockton, the world’s largest privately held insurance brokerage, to provide FSC members with customized business and personal health insurance programs.
The partnership is designed to offer FSC member savings on health insurance, an innovative provider network, comprehensive market/carrier comparisons, benchmarking to communicate industry-related contributions and benefit plan designs, a dedicated account and service team, and personalized communication material for open enrollment and employee interaction.
“Lockton is ecstatic to be partnering with the Free Speech Coalition and its members,” said Alan Stearns, partner, Lockton Insurance Brokers. “As the largest privately-held insurance broker in the world, we are looking forward to providing creative, innovative, and cost-savings solutions to an industry that has been vastly underserved. The Free Speech Coalition leads the way to provide its members Fortune 500 services and large-scale buying power when purchasing insurance.”
Lockton will address the needs of all types and sizes of member companies, including the self-employed, in order to provide personalized service to FSC members. However, due to insurance industry restrictions that apply to trade associations in many states, FSC members can not be underwritten by various insurance carriers as part of a national group. Both FSC and Lockton will continue to explore options and work toward the eventual goal of having all FSC members underwritten as part of a single group through group insurance that may ease underwriting restrictions when that option can be made available to all members nationwide.
“The Free Speech Coalition is often viewed as a litigation-only organization,” said Scott L. Lowther, Director of Membership Services at the Free Speech Coalition. “While we do protect our members through major litigation efforts when necessary, FSC is committed to its broader role as the national trade association of the adult entertainment industry. A recent survey of our membership indicated that the number two issue facing adult businesses in all segments of the industry is a need for comprehensive, cost-effective healthcare options for business owners or their employees. This is second only to members’ desire to obtain low-cost options for 2257 record-keeping software which FSC introduced just weeks ago.
“Through this partnership, FSC hopes to address that need by offering high levels of experienced service through Lockton that is well positioned to meet a wide variety of members’ needs in all 50 states. We couldn’t be more pleased to make this ‘value added’ option available nationwide.”
FSC is giving a special thanks to Michael Fattorosi, Esq., for facilitating the introduction of FSC to Lockton through which the partnership was made possible.
