ISMIE – Always Here for Our Policyholders  

ISMIE Mutual has been serving Illinois physicians for more than 30 years. Unlike some other companies that come and go, we’re proud that during all that time we’ve continuously insured all specialties throughout Illinois. We continue to work for you, developing new ways to manage liability risk through risk management programs, coverage options, and aggressive defense of claims. Rest assured, we’re here to stay. 

As always, we are thankful for your trust and support and we look forward to continuing to serve as your partner and advocate. Your medical liability needs are safe at ISMIE Mutual because we are always here for you, our valued policyholder.
 

ISMIE Helps You Earn Premium Discounts           

Participating in ISMIE’s Managing Risk Partnership Program can help you lower your practice’s risk and is free for current policyholders. Did you know that by participating, you are also eligible to receive premium discounts?

What will my premium discount be? The premium discount is a part of the Managing Risk Partnership Program and is separate from the CME credit awarded for the activity. Policyholders earn specific discounts for each activity they successfully complete. For example, policyholders who attend an ISMIE live seminar and successfully complete the post-test are eligible to receive a 1% premium discount for one policy year. For more information on Risk Rewards premium discounts, visit our web site or contact Risk Management at riskmanagement@ismie.com or 800-782-4767, ext. 3300.
 

Are You Practicing Part-Time in 2010? Let ISMIE Know.   

Have you changed your status to part-time this year? Let ISMIE know because we offer reduced rates for physicians who limit their practice time. You may qualify for a reduction in premium rates if you can demonstrate your practice is part-time through number of hours, number of scheduled days, patient volume, or activities insured elsewhere.

If you would like to be considered for part-time rating, simply complete and sign the Part-Time Application Form on ISMIE’s web site. Each request is considered on an individual basis. 

For more information on this policy benefit, contact the Underwriting Division at underwriting@ismie.com or 800-782-4767.
 

Learn on Your Lunch Hour with the ISMS Lunchtime Rx  Webinar Series 

Do you have questions about how to enhance your practice but not enough time to research current issues and best practices? If you are an ISMIE policyholder and a member of the Illinois State Medical Society, you and your staff can participate in the Lunchtime Rx educational webinar series and get the answers to your questions at no cost.

Each webinar will feature a presentation on a topic relating to today’s medical practices, followed by a question-and-answer period. The webinars take place once a month on Thursdays and begin at noon, and continuing medical education (CME) credit is available for select webinars. The upcoming schedule of topics and dates is available at www.isms.org/lunchtimeRx.

To access the webinar you will need a computer with an Internet connection to view the presentation and a phone to hear the presentation. If you are not an ISMS member but wish to participate, you can join ISMS at www.isms.org or you can pay a $100 registration fee. For more information or to register for a webinar, please visit www.isms.org/lunchtimeRx.

Special Note: This webinar series is not a part of ISMIE Mutual’s Managing Risk Partnership Program; attendees will not receive a premium discount for participating.
