About this file

This document is a letter dated February 27, 2024, from Valleywise Health's Risk Management department, addressing an Additional Insured Status Requester regarding the Maricopa County Special Health Care District's risk management approach. The letter originates from Phoenix, Arizona, and involves Valleywise Health and the Maricopa County Special Health Care District, a public entity.

The document explains that the Maricopa County Special Health Care District has chosen to retain risk rather than purchase traditional insurance, with a self-insured/retained limit of $2,000,000 per occurrence for general liability. They purchase additional traditional insurance beyond this limit and have adopted a Risk Management Insurance and Self-Insurance Plan as of May 24, 2017. Notably, the district cannot extend "Additional Insured" status, as they are not an insurance company and lack the legal right to endorse policies, which can only be done by insurance companies.

To Additional Insured Status Requester:

Maricopa County Special Health Care District is a public entity. We have made a formal decision to retain risk rather than insure it through traditional purchase of insurance. This type of decision is often made by entities with considerable assets.

Any claims for which Maricopa County Health Care District is found legally liable are paid under the Amended and Restated Maricopa County Special Health District Risk Management Insurance and Self- Insurance Plan adopted May 24, 2017.

Maricopa County Special Health Care District purchases traditional insurance in excess of our self- insured/retained limit of $2,000,000 per occurrence for general liability. Maricopa County

Special Health Care District’s self-insured up to and beyond the insurance limits you request.

We are not an insurance company and cannot convey rights of “Additional Insured”. We have no legal right, per the Department of Insurance, to extend Additional Insured status as only insurance companies can endorse policies to extend that right.

Please contact me with any further questions.

Thank you, Trisha Farrell
