Medical indemnity Insurance you can trust

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.

Who needs medical indemnity insurance?

Any medical professional that deals with patients on a daily basis should get medical indemnity insurance. A claim by a patient can be costly and stressful. Make sure you have the right medical cover for your profession.

What are "claims made" policies?

MMI 4u normally provides an insurance policy on a "claims made" basis, which means that it responds to claims that are first made against you and notified to insurers during the period of the policy and the run‐off period. This differs from "claims occurring" policies which cover incidents that occurred during the policy period, regardless of when the claim is made.

What if I've been declined cover from the MDU?

We offer specialist policies for people who have been declined indemnity cover with their Medical Defence Union (MDU) or other providers. Our simple online quote form will ask you questions regarding your previous insurance, once that's complete we'll do the hard work for you and help arrange cover - making sure you can concentrate on what matters most, your business.

What if I've had previous claims or disciplinary actions?

Just like with previously declined cover, we offer specialist policies for people who have had previous claims or disciplinary actions. We believe everyone deserves a fair chance to work. Contact us to discuss your specific circumstances.

Medical Malpractice Claim Examples

  • Surgery

    Three years after stomach surgery, a patient suffers a twisted bowel resulting in a severe obstruction requiring emergency surgery. The surgeon who undertook the initial procedure received a claim in excess of £50k in compensation and fees. It is alleged that failure to complete the initial surgery correctly led to this complication.

  • General practice

    A parent took their infant for a check up following recent signs of illness to which the GP noted as ‘not serious’. The child later developed meningitis and subsequently lost hearing on one side. A claim was made for negligence in respect to the doctor's failure to refer the child and misdiagnosis.

  • Dental

    Following the fitting of dental braces, the patient suffered severe headaches and jaw pain. On formal investigation, it was discovered that the technician had misinterpreted the dentist's instructions and the sizing was incorrect. A claim for compensation and fees in excess of £5k was made for the pain and suffering.

  • Dental

    Following a routine visit to the dentist a patient claimed to have suffered a mouth infection which needed to be treated. It was later alleged that the dental nurse's failure to sterilise the dentist equipment prior to use was the cause of the infection suffered by the patient.

  • Emergency care

    In response to an emergency call, a paramedic began to resuscitate an unconscious patient. Despite successfully resuscitating the patient, during the process the paramedic unfortunately caused the patient to suffer a fractured rib. A claim was made in negligence against the paramedic by the patient following the injury sustained.
