NASW Assurance Services (ASI)

NASW Assurance Services (ASI) is a wholly owned subsidiary of NASW and exists to manage social worker insurance programs with our policyholders’ best interests in mind. We work hard to be a socially responsible organization dedicated to improving the lives of social workers.

In all our insurance products, we offer excellent value: the best possible product to meet the specific needs of behavioral health professionals at the most competitive group rates. ASI understands the abundant rewards of helping others. We also understand the importance of assessing and minimizing risk when working in today’s litigious society.

As social workers and other behavioral health professionals become increasingly subject to malpractice lawsuits, defense against such claims, even when they are groundless or fraudulent, can be extremely expensive. Consequently, liability insurance is no longer simply an option; it’s a necessity.

After originally offering sickness and accident income protection in 1957, NASW also began offering liability insurance products to its members in 1967 through the Insurance Trust.

ASI, formerly the Insurance Trust, is currently revamping the NASW-endorsed liability insurance programs to offer members new and improved services. ASI is currently working on relaunching the liability insurance expressly for social workers.  

We select and develop high-quality, affordable programs tailored to the broad scope of practicing in the social work field. We manage programs to ensure policyholders receive excellent, caring customer service. We also provide risk management education and importantly, we advocate on your behalf if you’re unfairly denied coverage or renewal.

Unlike many insurance companies focusing on creating profits for corporate shareholders, our goal is to pay program expenses that invest in initiatives that benefit policyholders and advance the profession.
