Rockport Benefits has been formed with the hope of providing a refreshing alternative to the Medical Stop Loss market, offering the same reliability and consistency to which you are accustomed, fused with a true optimism and excitement toward our future capabilities.
We realize that the market presents more challenges than ever experienced. Irrational pricing, “decision-maker” turnover, ACA compliance and egregious facility charges only begin to scratch the perplexing surface.
With that in mind, we have embarked upon a new trek; a mission to provide a meaningful response for the stop loss predicament. We aim to do so by becoming a virtual extension of your business, while incorporating you as part of our well-rounded team. Success will be created by working together as a cohesive unit, enhanced not only by the quality of resources, but also by strategizing from more than one vantage point.
Rockport Benefits has a highly experienced, talented and enthusiastic staff. Our goal is to work with folks who truly want to make a difference and are willing to bring new options and points of view to their clients.
managing director
Amy Argeros
Amy Argeros began her career in 1994 at LDG Management, which became HCC Benefits’ first acquisition in the stop loss industry. She was trained under a highly regarded executive team in all aspects of underwriting and business development. This afforded her the opportunity to build a successful portfolio along with a loyal customer base.
In 2003, she joined the members of the exiting executive team in their endeavor to form SLG Benefits, LLC. Continued success over the next decade led to leadership roles as Underwriting Manager and most recently as Regional Vice President of the Northeast territory for QBE A&H. Responsibilities included achievement of growth & loss ratio targets, sales goals and renewal persistency for Medical Stop Loss and Captive Product lines. An integral role was served in producer and relationship management, as well as Risk Management, Claims and Cost Containment Consulting.
On a Personal Note….
The above is a snapshot of over 20 years of life spent dedicated to my job, co-workers and industry peers. Rockport Benefits is a progression for me, born out of an opportunity to continue to work according to the methods and beliefs that have been a constant throughout my career. Methods that drive solutions from a genuine desire to help and beliefs that relationships, trust and loyalty are more than just convenient buzz words.
None of us can know or control what the future may hold. All we can do is be true to ourselves and hope to be proud of what we stand for and stand to accomplish, together.
