Massachusetts’ Risk Strategies Acquires Specialty Insurance Solutions

Risk Strategies, a Boston, Massachusetts-based national specialty insurance brokerage and risk management firm, has acquired Specialty Insurance Solutions (SIS), expanding capabilities in its national student health practice.

Founded in 2007 by President Paul Mayo, SIS offers specialty products and services primarily focused on comprehensive student health insurance programs, sport accident insurance and student travel insurance. SIS Co-owner Jeff Struckle joined the firm in 2010 to build out the firm’s intercollegiate sports program.

As a broker, consultant and managing general underwriter (MGU), SIS can connect clients with the right carrier-based program or build a custom program to meet specific needs. It also offers a variety of specialty support services, such as setting up for billing and coding as a provider, contracting with network carriers as a preferred provider organization and establishing a student help desk.

The acquisition of SIS builds on Risk Strategies’ long-term focus and growth in the education industry, according to a Risk Strategies press release.
