Physician - First Service

For 31 years, ISMIE Mutual has provided superior physician-first service for good reason: Physicians own and operate the company. They know the business of medicine. In addition to guiding excellence in underwriting, risk management and claim services, the physicians of ISMIE:

  • Work to keep doctors in Illinois through advocacy in Springfield and through partnerships with the Illinois State Medical Society (ISMS), the Illinois Civil Justice League and other reform-minded groups. ISMIE and ISMS brought the message to uphold our hard-won medical litigation reform laws to the State Fair and launched a campaign to “sew up lawsuit reform for good” in a series of ads appearing in 20 newspapers across the state. In solidarity with Illinois physicians, the AMA helped to sponsor the campaign.

  • Ensure that ISMIE policyholders are informed physicians. ISMIE increased publication of Mutual Interests, its policyholder newsletter, to six times per year. ISMIE-news, an e-newsletter launched in 2007, is delivered every Tuesday to policyholders via e-mail. And ISMIE’s web site is updated regularly to assure that policyholders have access to their up-to-date information, any time, day or night.

  • Strive to provide physician-first service with every policyholder interaction. Period.

ISMIE is determined to provide the best possible medical liability insurance products and services, so that physicians may say with deepest satisfaction, today and long into the future, “I choose ISMIE.”
