Insurance Companies Financial Strength and Claims Paying Ability Ratings
A.M. Best:
B ++ (Very Good)

Ratings
Independent agencies such as A.M. Best issue ratings on insurance companies for the benefit of consumers, investors, and the insurance industry itself.

Agencies assess the insurance company's ability to pay claims through close scrutiny of the insurance company's operations and plans as well as using publicly available information. Agencies use a number of assessment criteria including financial strength, capital resources, stability of cash flow, and demonstrated management performance. Other important factors include quality of administration, marketing, and investment operations.

High ratings denote strong financial stability, and a greater ability to meet financial obligations. Ratings can change over time as agencies frequently re-evaluate insurance companies and revise their ratings based on significant industry and company events.
