Philadelphia Insurance Cos. believes its models can provide better prices than the National Flood Insurance Program for some flood-related commercial property risks.

The Bala Cynwyd, Pa.-based member of the Tokio Marine Group is introducing a new commercial primary flood insurance policy as an alternative to businesses that might otherwise turn to the NFIP for coverage.

“The NFIP is restrictive in the terms and limits they can provide and their rates are driven by their models,” says Neal Schmidt, vice president of underwriting specialty property for Philadelphia Insurance. “We believe we can provide higher limits and better terms using our models.”
