NACAMS
vs
Philadelphia Insurance Co (PHLY)
Ready to make the switch? You're not alone.
We know buying liability insurance can come with a lot of questions. For most professionals, it's an item on a checklist that feels more like a chore than an exciting choice.
NACAMS exists to help break that stigma. Here are a few reasons we think our membership is a great choice over PHYL.
About The Company
NACAMS
The National Association of Complementary and Alternative Medicines (NACAMS) founded in 2005 serves health, wellness, and beauty professionals by offering comprehensive liability insurance and practice support. NACAMS does not certify or register professionals or schools. Instead, we offer the industry preferred and affordable insurance options.
In 2019 NACAMS was acquired by Arthur J Gallagher, the 3rd largest brokerage in the world allowing us to grow and enhance our services.

The original company was founded in 1962 by James J. Maguire, Sr. and was originally known as the Maguire Insurance Agency. In its beginnings, the Maguire Insurance Agency specialized in automobile insurance products. It expanded from one to 15 offices shortly thereafter. After changing its name to PHLY in 1987, the company began offering liability insurance to social service agencies, as well as health and fitness organizations. In 2008, Founder Maguire began the process of merging PHLY with the Tokio Marine Group.
