In conjunction with the increase, CMIC will expand credits to eligible claims-made policyholders who have been insured with CMIC for three consecutive years.
“A shift in the Massachusetts medical professional liability insurance environment requires we make appropriate rate revisions to ensure our policyholders are adequately protected,” said Denise Funk, CEO of CMIC. “That being said, we will continue to financially reward policyholders providing exceptional patient care, and increase those rewards as appropriate.”
