Who We Are

                            
Alternative Insurance Resources, Inc. (AIR, Inc. for
                       short) was
founded in July of 1997, as a privately held
                       Alabama corporation,
dedicated to claims processing,
                       administration and customer
service to employers who
                       seek an alternative to the traditional
funding of their
                       insurance programs. The Company founders
bring
                       together a strong background in the insurance
                       industry as well as in third party administration soft-
                       ware design
and support. Our staff has been chosen
                   
not only for the 200 + years combined experience in
                   
the TPA industry, but also for their desire to work as a
                  
 team to provide superior service and support. Our  
                   
claims processing and management information
                       systems
were developed to assist AIR in providing
                       timely and quality
service for our clients.  AIR's soft-
                       ware system is very flexible and can be readily
                       modified by our on-site programming team to meet

                             the needs of our clients.
