United Heartland and Third Coast Underwriters, two workers’ compensation brands, have entered into a strategic alignment to leverage the expertise of both divisions to benefit middle-market businesses.

United Heartland is a workers’ compensation carrier. The company describes itself as having a high-touch service model and broad experience, which it said allows for nimbleness and responsiveness to effectively manage accounts with complex needs.

Third Coast Underwriters is dedicated to understanding and actively managing complex workers’ compensation risk with an “unwavering attention” to service

The strategic alignment will see underwriting and marketing efforts now be aligned into two state-focused divisions: Midwest and East.

This new territory alignment will serve the full, combined middle-market appetite of both United Heartland and Third Coast Underwriters in healthcare, manufacturing, education, social services, construction, agribusiness and transportation.

Additionally, agent partners will be able to grow new and renewal business through a single point of contact, while customers continue to receive the same high-touch, specialized service experience from a claims and loss control perspective.

Tracy Bain, who joined United Heartland in 2012, will serve as divisional director of the Midwest division, overseeing the Chicago, Milwaukee and Kansas City regions.

Dana Pierce, who joined United Heartland in 2007, will serve as the divisional director of the East division, overseeing the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast regions.

Justin Bealhen, vice president of business development and operations for United Heartland and Third Coast Underwriters, said, “Middle-market businesses require insurance solutions that are tailored for their unique operations…Aligning underwriting between these two brands will certainly improve the ease of doing business, while providing meaningful customer interactions and deepening agency relationships.”

Earlier this year, Gradient AI, a provider of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions in the insurance industry and Duck Creek Technologies have launched a workers’ compensation solutions product.
