August 2007 – [New Berlin, WI] Workers compensation insurer United Wisconsin Insurance Company (dba United Heartland) has reached the milestone of $1 billion in historic earned premium.

“We reached this milestone because we stayed focused on our original vision of being an employer-oriented workers compensation insurer,” says Emil Pfenninger, president & CEO. “That vision has led to high customer retention and satisfaction, as well as solid profitability.”

LindenGrove, a not-for-profit organization of care facilities for older adults, has worked with United Heartland since its first years of operation. CFO Mark Sperka says that United Heartland’s approach makes a difference.

“We are a long-time United Heartland customer because they treat us like a partner, not a premium,” says Sperka. “Their commitment helps us succeed in our commitment to the people we care for.”

United Heartland’s employer-oriented approach applies proven managed care techniques to workers compensation and offers many programs and services including a drug-free workplace program, medical cost management and risk management services.

A wholly owned subsidiary of Accident Fund Insurance Company of America since December 2005, United Heartland primarily works with customers in the Midwest.

United Heartland is rated “A” (Excellent) by A.M. Best. Headquartered in New Berlin, Wisconsin, United Heartland insures workers compensation clients across the country and actively markets in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, Nebraska, Virginia and Wisconsin.
