 PROFILE
Ascent Assurance (formerly Westbridge Capital) is an insurance holding company that underwrites medical expense and supplemental health insurance to self-employed individuals and small-business owners. The company's medical expense policies reimburse various medical and hospital costs. It also offers indemnity policies for the treatment of specified diseases and lump sum payments upon the diagnosis of catastrophic illness. The company sells mainly through subsidiaries, which are licensed in some 40 states (Texas accounts for about 20% of premiums); it generates leads via its telemarketing unit. Credit Suisse First Boston owns almost 75% of Ascent, which changed its name after emerging from bankruptcy in 1999.
