  Who We Are
 
DEVELOPED AND MANAGED BY:

Affinity Group Underwriters (AGU) has been developing and managing limited medical insurance programs since 1999. Over twenty years of underwriting and marketing association group major medical plans has provided us with extensive, relevant experience and a unique perspective on the rapidly-emerging market for lower-cost alternatives to traditional health insurance. As a managing underwriter, AGU is an extension of our insurance company partners. Our products are distributed through independent agents and brokers nationwide.

Our affiliated administrative operation, Towers Affinity Benefit Services (TABS), is a division of Towers Administrators, Inc. TABS was organized in 2002 as a strategic alliance venture between Affinity Group Underwriters, Glen Allen, VA, and Towers Administrators, New York, NY. It was developed to share resources and provide better administrative and customer service to clients of both companies.

TABS is licensed nationwide as a third-party administrator. Through it, we provide premium administration and customer service but we do not pay claims.

AGU was founded in 1997 by former executives of major group insurance carriers. Towers has been in the association administration business since 1966. The principals and staff of both companies have extensive and diverse experience in the insurance business in general and the affinity group business in particular.
