LAMMICO, the leading medical professional liability insurance company in Louisiana, announces the launch of a new on-demand risk management resource for its policyholders and qualifying practice managers called “Practice Solutions.”
For more than 35 years, policyholders have trusted LAMMICO’s comprehensive, customized approach to risk management. This new online hub is the insurance carrier’s new one-stop collection of resources and services for their policyholders to be used to mitigate malpractice risk and other risks, and to help make the business of medicine more manageable.
“We were consistently hearing from policyholders that they needed more resources to guide them on how to efficiently and effectively manage a practice, while simultaneously remaining compliant and avoiding the risk of a claim,” said Natalie Cohen, LAMMICO Practice Management Specialist. “We listened to our policyholders’ current pain points, and developed Practice Solutions to satisfy their needs in the face of evolving regulations and systemic threats.”
LAMMICO policyholders and their registered office staff can access Practice Solutions by logging in to LAMMICO.com as a Member for a collection of risk mitigation tools to help with the daily challenges of managing their practice. Information included in each focus area of Practice Solutions is chosen for its timeliness in the healthcare industry, relevance to insureds, and risk reduction potential.
