Values

Honesty

Respect

Integrity

Trust

Transparency is a key difference between CHI and a traditional insurance company. CHI is very open in reviewing your organization’s risk profile and how it figures into your premium calculation. A traditional insurance company would not be so open. They also wouldn’t reward you with premium holidays or rebates for reducing losses. Instead, a significant portion of the gain would become additional profits.”
