Tribal Liability Programs for Native American Governments & Enterprises

Summit Administration Services takes great pride in building customized Tribal liability programs that offer our Tribal Partners exactly what they need in coverage, savings, and prevention.

Since 1997, Summit has provided administration for Tribal self-funded Workers’ Compensation, General Liability, Property, and Auto programs. We understand that every Tribal Nation and Native American organization is unique, and we start by getting to know the specific needs of each community and its employees.

Our 115+ Tribal insurance clients know that our only mission is to provide Next Level Service while supporting their employees and protecting their bottom line. As an independent Third-Party Administrator (TPA), we work with multiple carriers to design a program around your capacity for risk, with no hidden commissions or overrides.
