CRMS serves as the bridge between counties in Iowa, and their agents, and IMWCA.
WHAT IS CRMS?
County Risk Management Services, Inc., represents the Iowa Municipalities Workers' Compensation Association (IMWCA), one of the largest municipal risk-sharing pools in the state, exclusively to Iowa counties. We work with county officials and their local insurance agents to help Iowa counties obtain access to the coverages and resources they need to help prevent and respond to loss.
Coverage through IMWCA is generally more affordable, responsive and accommodating than coverages placed through the standard insurance market. IMWCA operates in the fashion of group self-insurance, which means, with IMWCA, your county is never alone.
IMWCA are endorsed by the Iowa State Association of Counties as well as the Iowa League of Cities.
Learn more about the role of your county’s insurance agent with our agent checklist.
“ I would say that a major reason risk pools have been
successful is the commonality of purpose among pool members.”
BENEFITS OF COVERAGE*
Up to $25,000 medical reimbursement for eligible injured volunteers
Free assistance with human resources to manage workers' compensation exposures
Online safety training and safety policies with CEUs available
*This list is not all-inclusive.
