Frequently asked questions
No. Tokio Marine HCC issues no individual life insurance -- there is no whole, universal, indexed, variable, or term policy to own, so there is nothing for an irrevocable life insurance trust to hold. Its Accident & Health book is entirely employer-sponsored (Medical Stop Loss, Captive Stop Loss, Organ Transplant, Taft-Hartley, Level Funded, MedPlus, Lasso Captive) and is written by HCC Life Insurance Company operating as Tokio Marine HCC - A&H Group; group and supplemental coverage cannot be assigned to a trust. The rest of the book is commercial specialty (surety, cyber, D&O, aviation, crop). If a decedent's file shows a "Tokio Marine" LIFE policy, it came from a different Tokio Marine Holdings subsidiary, not from TMHCC.
