Our Summary

Pie Insurance specializes in workers’ compensation insurance. They sell policies directly to business owners or through their many local and regional partners. Pie boasts that it can help business owners get a quote in less than three minutes and save up to 30% on workers’ comp costs. They’re striving to do things differently to make the insurance experience better for business owners who have other things to worry about. 

Company Overview

Headquartered in Washington, D.C., Pie Insurance is a fast-growing company. In one year, it has grown from 140 employees to 260.

Lines of Coverage

Pie Insurance is a specialty insurer with only one line of insurance: workers’ compensation. Workers’ comp pays for employee medical bills and lost wages when hurt on the job.

Premium Costs

Workers’ compensation premium costs are contingent on your industry and payroll. Every state is different and Pie doesn’t have an average price for workers’ compensation insurance for the country. It does however give some examples of employer costs per $100 of payroll based on state averages. 

Sample costs include: 

  • New York: $1.46
  • South Carolina: $1.71
  • Alaska: $2.27
  • Colorado: $0.97 

Underwriting Process

Pie uses smart technology to walk you through the quote process. It takes just a few minutes to get a quote. We ran a quote for a salesperson team with $100,000 in payroll. The quote took under two minutes and gave us a rate of $86 per month. It didn’t give us the option to buy online but instead requested that we call to finalize the rate. 

AM Best Ratings

An AM Best rating provides insights into the financial solvency of an insurance company. The higher the rating, the better the company is thought to be able to handle catastrophic claims. Pie Insurance has an AM Best rating of an A- which is good but not the best rating. It still shows financial stability from the company. 

Complaint Index

The complaint index is a database of ratios for U.S. insurance companies maintained by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. The ratio for each company says how the company fares compared to the average number of complaints based on market share. While most companies are in the database, Pie Insurance is not so we are unable to glean any insights about its customer satisfaction from the complaint index. 

Reputation

To get a better idea of what customers think about Pie Insurance, we looked at both the Trustpilot reviews and Better Business Bureau data. On Trustpilot, Pie Insurance has 307 reviews with a 4.6 average star rating. Reviews note that the company is responsive and works hard to get customer satisfaction. 

The Better Business Bureau profile is very thin with no reviews and one complaint filed in the past 12 months. Pie is not accredited with the BBB and has a D+ rating based on the one complaint. The complaint had to do with an audit that the policyholder was unable to complete due to COVID restrictions and the rate went up as a result. 

Concluding Thoughts

Pie Insurance does one thing: sell workers’ compensation insurance. They’ve used technology to help in the underwriting process that yields small business owners up to 30% in savings. They serve a wide range of industries across most of the United States. If you’re shopping for workers’ compensation insurance, it’s worth it to get a quote from Pie Insurance.

This insurance purchase for my business was the most seamless phone encounter I have ever had in any phone purchase process bar none. Information was requested once and moved smoothly from one person to the next as we moved thru the purchase. Each person I dealt with was friendly, professional, and focused on determining my needs and the best way to match me up with the solution. Absolutely stellar!!!
