Welcome to MASI

Since 1996, the Mississippi Association of Self-Insurers (MASI) has been the voice of Mississippi’s self-insured workers’ compensation and employee health benefits community. Through legislative advocacy, regulatory relationships, professional education, and networking opportunities, MASI works to protect and advance the interests of employers who choose to self-insure.

MASI’s membership includes group self-insurance programs, individual self-insured employers, third-party administrators, healthcare providers, attorneys, consultants, and other professionals who support the self-insurance industry.

For 30 years, MASI has brought these individuals and organizations together with a common purpose: to strengthen Mississippi’s self-insured community and ensure its voice is heard.

One of MASI’s most important responsibilities is representing the interests of self-insured employers before Mississippi’s legislative and regulatory leaders.

At the Mississippi State Capitol and throughout the regulatory process, MASI provides a unified voice on issues affecting workers’ compensation and self-insured employee health benefit plans. By maintaining strong working relationships with legislators, the Mississippi Workers’ Compensation Commission, the Mississippi Insurance Department, and other key decisionmakers, MASI helps ensure that the perspectives of self-insured employers are considered when important policy decisions are made.

MASI has a long history of meaningful legislative and regulatory advocacy, including its involvement in Mississippi’s comprehensive workers’ compensation reform legislation in 2012. Today, the association continues to monitor proposed legislation, regulatory developments, and emerging issues that could affect the cost and administration of self-insured programs.

When important decisions are being made, MASI works to make sure Mississippi’s self-insured employers have a seat at the table.

MASI supports a workers’ compensation system that provides appropriate medical care and benefits to injured employees while maintaining reasonable costs and responsibilities for employers.

Through ongoing communication with the Mississippi Workers’ Compensation Commission and other stakeholders, MASI advocates for a fair, balanced, and efficient workers’ compensation system.

The association also provides education and professional development opportunities for those responsible for administering workers’ compensation programs, helping employers and industry professionals stay informed about regulatory changes, claims management practices, and emerging industry trends.

As healthcare costs continue to rise and the regulatory environment becomes increasingly complex, MASI helps Mississippi employers navigate the challenges of providing self-insured employee health benefits.

From pharmacy benefit management and healthcare cost containment to plan design, compliance, and emerging legislative issues, MASI keeps members informed about developments that affect their health benefit programs.

Through advocacy, educational programming, and access to industry experts, MASI helps employers make informed decisions while protecting the flexibility and advantages of self-funded healthcare.

MASI is more than an advocacy organization. It is a community of employers and professionals who share information, build relationships, and work together to strengthen Mississippi’s self-insurance industry.

Through conferences, webinars, professional certification programs, and networking events, MASI provides opportunities for members to:

• Stay informed about legislative and regulatory developments affecting self-insurance.
• Hear directly from state officials, industry leaders, and subject matter experts.
• Earn continuing education credits and expand their professional knowledge.
• Build valuable relationships with employers, service providers, and other professionals.
• Exchange ideas, share experiences, and discover solutions to common challenges.

 For 30 years, MASI’s strength has been its members, its relationships, and its commitment to Mississippi’s self-insured community.

Whether you are a self-insured employer or a professional supporting the industry, MASI provides a place to connect, learn, and have your voice heard.

Join the employers and industry professionals who rely on MASI for advocacy, education, and valuable connections. Together, we can continue strengthening self-insurance in Mississippi.
