Medical indemnity Insurance you can trust

Medical professionals carry a huge weight of responsibility every day. Patients and their family members depend on them to make decisions on matters of life and death, even a small mistake could have serious repercussions. Medical professionals are only human, and sometimes mistakes do happen. Having the right medical indemnity insurance in place can protect you and your business from civil lawsuits, while also covering the costs of your defence and any settlement.

At MMI 4u we offer specialised indemnity policies for most medicial professions, with many available to buy online in a matter of minutes. Fill out our online form and get a quote, today.

Our team of experts are dedicated to protecting your livelihood and your reputation. Our medical indemnity insurance is underwritten by certain underwriters at Lloyd’s and/or London Company Markets (A Rated), offering you comprehensive medical malpractice cover and peace of mind.

Our policies are an insurance product with an indemnity level of up to £10 million. The product offers contract certainty and is enforceable in the courts.

Claims Made Basis

Policy cover is on a "claims made" basis. That means the policy can respond to claims first made and reported during the period of insurance, and after any retroactive date stated in the schedule, subject to the policy terms, limits and exclusions.

Benefits of Tail cover insurance

Medical professionals retiring at the normal age of retirement (65 years) and who've been insured by our scheme for a continuous minimum period of 10 years before reaching 65 can benefit from Tail cover insurance, so that they can retire in peace knowing that MMI 4u has them covered. Run off cover is required once the policy has been cancelled. This is to cover any claims that may arise subsequent to the cancellation of the policy.

Declined Cover from the MDU?

As well as providing medical indemnity insurance for standard cases, we also specialise in providing cover for medical professionals who have previously been declined cover from the MDU. If this is your case, get in touch today to find out more.
