The Mississippi Association of Self-Insurers was
established to represent the interests of the
self-insurance industry through legislative and
regulatory actions. The Association membership
is composed of group self-insurer funds and individual
self-insured employers.
The Association is strongly supported by many professional members
who serve self-insurers such as rehabilitation counselors, third party
administrators, law firms, and specialists in various other services.
The Association is directed by a Board of Directors with a representative
from each Group Association and representatives selected from individual
self-insured companies.
It is the function of the Mississippi Association of Self-Insurers to promote and protect the interests of self-insurers in legislative, administrative, and judicial forums. MASI is committed to aggressively pursuing a workers' compensation program that adequately compensates the injured employee while preserving reasonable limitations on employer responsibility.
MASI does not oppose reasonable and necessary regulations. However, as many self-insured employers and groups know, there are public administrators and lawmakers nationwide who have attempted to enact extensive and burdensome regulations for self-insurance.
To ensure that regulations remain reasonable, self-insurers must be actively and forcefully involved in the development of these regulations. MASI offers self-insurers this opportunity.
