Plan for excess layer (s) of insurance coverage over the primary coverage, for example, if a corporation buys $8 million as excess above a $2 million self insurance retention level. Excess coverage can be purchased from either a primary insurer or a re insurer. Before deciding on a self-insurance plan, the corporation should review its past loss experience according to pattern, timing, and types, as well as its current financial position.
