Products
Employment Practice Liability
Like other industries, the healthcare arena must be conscious of risks associated with handling personnel issues. Coverage is provided for the entity when claims are brought by past, present, and potential employees. Third-party coverage is also available. The policy is designed to protect against these common allegations: discrimination in the hiring process, failure to promote, sexual harassment, and wrongful termination.
Insurance that covers alleged wrongful acts arising from the employment process.
Directors & Officers Liability
Individuals who serve on a Board of Directors or as a corporate officer risk their personal assets while attempting to uphold their fiduciary duty to the organization. Both your personal assets and those of the organization can be protected by a Directors and Officers Liability policy, if properly tailored to meet your needs. This claims-made policy includes coverage for allegations of breach of fiduciary duties, negligent credentialing, and employment-related issues.
Insurance that provides protection for the directors and officers of an organization in case of a claim against them in conjunction with the performance of their duties relative to the organization.
Hospital Professional & General Liability
With the limited number of carriers who write hospital professional liability insurance in Mississippi, many hospital administrators are faced with the decision to either pay exorbitant premiums or to self-insure. MACM Insurance Services can assist with this decision by approaching ‘A’ rated companies for either a low-retention program or one that allows the entity to assume more risk with lower fixed costs.
Insurance purchased by hospitals covering their liability for professional acts, errors, or omissions. Hospital Professional Liability coverage is usually written as a package with Commercial General Liability policies to avoid situations in which coverage could apply under either policy.
Physician Regulatory Liability (Billing Errors & Omissions)
Whether it is Medicare billing or HIPAA, enforcement activity for non-compliance is an additional challenge for physician practices. Intentional (and unintentional) over-billing of Medicare and Medicaid is a prime target for federal regulators. Now, rules governing the restricted use of patient information are in place, creating additional liability exposure for healthcare providers. Our Physician Regulatory Liability Insurance provides protection for unintentional over-billing , and the policy includes coverage for defense costs, auditing fees, and civil fines and penalties.
Insurance that protects against RAC audits and HIPAA violations.
Workers' Compensation
Regardless of the size of your staff, MACM Insurance Services can offer you a competitive and flexible Workers’ Compensation product to protect your employees injured on the job. While coverages vary, our companies work hard to ensure your employees are reimbursed for their medical expenses and lost wages and return to work in a timely manner.

Business Owners Policy (BOP)

In addition, with a BOP policy, we can combine your commercial auto with the policy to receive a multi-policy discount.

The policy even indemnifies you for any regulatory fines and penalties assessed during an investigation. So, don’t let an accidental data breach or a computer hacker close your doors. Allow MACM Insurance Services to help protect you.
