Anniversary Musings
Medical Litigation Reform One Year Later

Medical litigation reform became a reality in August 2005. What did this mean for ISMIE Mutual policyholders in 2006?

• ISMIE Mutual announced a 5.2 percent average premium reduction for the 2006-2007 policy year.
  
  
• Through our Managing Risk Program, ISMIE Mutual aggressively increased policyholders’ opportunities to further reduce their premiums – up to 15 percent
  each year.
  
  
• While there are signs that the medical liability insurance market is in transition and the medical litigation environment is improving, a favorable climate won’t be assured unless the expected Supreme Court challenge is defeated.

Today and for the past 30 years, the foundation of ISMIE’s physician-first service is aggressive defense against claims to assure the best possible outcome for you and your practice. It is the most important service ISMIE provides. Thank you for allowing us to serve you.
