Psychologists play an integral part in helping patients recover from various disorders. This means treating patients suffering from special conditions such as depression, behavioural disorder, personality disorder and anxiety. You will often encounter such conditions as panic disorders, drug abuse, phobias and bipolar disorders.
It goes without saying that this line of work can be rewarding, yet also extremely challenging. Patients often need a special understanding, care, and support to help them recover. Sometimes, as a psychologist, you can find yourself in a maze of allegations regarding medical malpractice. You may be accused of negligence, misdiagnosis, mistreatment and more, meaning you must protect yourself and how you earn your livelihood.
In such a situation, trying to prove your innocence can be frustrating and costly. That is why you need medical indemnity insurance to ensure that the future of your career is safe and secure. MMI 4u is here to ensure that your job is covered and that your career is protected.
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.

natalie holmesAbsolutely brilliant for the indemnity I need. No hidden costs, just pay what I'd quoted and you're all set and covered for the year. It was so much cheaper than going through other sites. Would definitely recommend.

The level of indemnity cover you need depends on your specific role, employer requirements, and professional body recommendations. Many employers and professional bodies specify minimum cover levels. Our advisors can help you determine the appropriate level when you request a quote.
MMI 4u typically provides policies on a "claims made" basis, meaning the policy responds to claims first made and notified during the policy period. This differs from "claims occurring" policies which cover incidents that occurred during the policy period, regardless of when the claim is made.

Our Psychologists policies start from £45.36 per year and include the option to add additional Commercial Legal Protection. Premiums may vary based on your specific circumstances, level of cover required, and any additional options selected.
We specialise in providing cover for medical professionals who have been declined by other providers, including the MDU. Our online form will ask about your previous insurance history, and we'll work to find suitable cover for your circumstances.
If you have a claims-made policy and are retiring or ceasing practice, you'll typically need run-off cover to protect against claims made after your policy ends. This is especially important for medical professionals, as claims can arise years after treatment. Speak to our advisors for details.
Yes, we offer monthly direct debit payment options for policies over 90, subject to policy terms. This allows you to spread the cost throughout the year.
