Midwest Insurance Group, Inc. provides insurance through a
Risk Retention Group owned by its member companies. It was
formed utilizing the laws from the Federal Risk Retention
Act as an alternative to spiraling liability costs in the
healthcare industry.
Risk Retention Groups (RRG's) are groups of policy holders
with similar risk traits who may group together to start their
own insurance company under the Federal Liability Risk Retention
Act of 1986. Authorization under the federal statute allows
a group to be incorporated in one state, but authorized to
do business in all states (subject to registration).
Indiana healthcare facilities are suffering the consequences
of insurance company losses nationwide. As litigation and
claim settlements escalate in troubled states, these insurance
companies are forced to raise prices in all states. In contrast,
members of Midwest Insurance Group gain the benefits of stable
pricing due to Indiana’s favorable legal and regulatory
environment.
Our approach
is simple:
- We
have created a program for Indiana Healthcare Facilities
to isolate Indiana Healthcare Facilities from the liability
crisis plaguing other states, which do not have favorable
legal and regulatory environments;
- All
members participate in the Indiana Patients Compensation
Fund, established through Indiana law, to cap professional
liability exposure;
- We
hold a heavy risk management emphasis and philosophy;
- Our
manuscript policy form provides defense costs outside limits;
- We
are reinsured by Lloyds of London; and
- Limits
are provided per location.
