THREE Insurance Reliability Evidence
THREE by Berkshire Hathaway has no Carrier & MGA Spot Score because the reviewed evidence is insufficient for a numerical assessment. Spot Scores assess documented reliability within the reviewed scope; they do not predict claims payment.
Assessment
Not Rated
No numerical reliability score is assigned. Current entity-specific authority, executed reinsurance terms, claims delegation and complete financial detail are not established by the reviewed public evidence. Available sources include company disclosures and one unresolved party allegation with the insurer’s denial; that allegation is not an adjudicated finding.
Assessed entity: Berkshire Hathaway Direct Insurance Company. Scope: Berkshire Hathaway Direct Insurance Company (BHDIC), the insurer named on the displayed THREE sample policy. THREE is the commercial product/DBA label. This assessment uses BHDIC-specific evidence only; information about parent companies, affiliates, brokers and other Berkshire insurers is not transferred to BHDIC.

Evidence and Scope
Role: Carrier. Scope: Berkshire Hathaway Direct Insurance Company (BHDIC), the insurer named on the displayed THREE sample policy. THREE is the commercial product/DBA label. This assessment uses BHDIC-specific evidence only; information about parent companies, affiliates, brokers and other Berkshire insurers is not transferred to BHDIC.
Insurer Identity and Authority
Financial Information
A company-published June 2026 BHDIC financial snapshot reports assets, liabilities and surplus on a statutory accounting basis. AM Best’s April 16, 2026 release affirmed an A++ (Superior) Financial Strength Rating and an aaa (Exceptional) Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating, both with stable outlooks, for National Indemnity Company and named affiliates including BHDIC. The release’s explanatory analysis is group-scoped and does not establish every BHDIC-specific financial detail.[7][8]
Claims Handling and Accountability
The displayed sample policy gives the insurer rights to prepare and defend liability claims and decide whether to settle, subject to the issued policy and state form. THREE describes online or phone claim reporting and an account-manager contact after submission; it does not identify the current adjuster or administrator. A Florida commercial-property claimant’s filing alleges delay and underpayment. BHDIC counsel’s response denies bad faith; the filing page shows no adjudication or final outcome.[3][5][1]
Reinsurance Support
THREE states that National Indemnity Company provides 90% quota-share reinsurance support. This is a company-reported description; the executed treaty, retained share and allocation by state or policy period were not reviewed. National Indemnity is described as reinsurer, not issuer of the displayed THREE policy.[4]
Conduct Evidence and Limits
Florida Civil Remedy Notice 813495, accepted March 27, 2025, contains a party-submitted allegation about delay and underpayment on a commercial property/water claim against BHDIC. BHDIC counsel responded on May 23, 2025, denying bad faith. The portal shows no adjudication or final outcome; this filing and response are not a finding of misconduct.[1]
Public Disclosures
THREE distinguishes its product name from the insurer and describes claim reporting routes. Its terms say New York policyholders may request more information about representative compensation; that statement is limited to the described New York context and is not a nationwide compensation schedule.[2][3][4][6][5]
Evidence gaps
- THREE’s public claim materials do not identify the current claim adjustment administrator or delegation arrangements.
- The executed quota-share treaty and its allocation by state or policy period are not described in the inspected public materials.
Licenses and Authority
These are reviewed authority records for the named legal entities and scope. A license record does not establish that a particular policy is available, bound, or suitable.
No license records are listed for this assessment. See the evidence gaps for what remains unconfirmed.
