ProMutual Hospital Policyholders to Receive Dividend; See No Rate Change
(firmenpresse) - BOSTON, MA -- (Marketwire) -- 08/03/11 -- Medical Professional Mutual Insurance Company ("ProMutual"), a member company of leading medical professional liability insurance provider Coverys, is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors recently declared a five percent dividend to most healthcare facility policyholders in Massachusetts. This year's dividend announcement follows a five percent dividend in 2010. The dividend coincides with no increase in medical professional liability insurance rates for this group. Both decisions affect almost 100 healthcare facilities in Massachusetts.
"We are pleased to be able to offer a dividend to our Massachusetts healthcare facility policyholders for the second year in a row," said Richard W. Brewer, president and chief executive officer for Coverys. "We know it is a challenging time for many healthcare providers and it is reassuring to have these positive results from our policyholders. We hope that this dividend, coupled with no rate change, reinforces the importance of our risk management offerings, as we continue to invest in these areas of our business that most benefit our policyholders."
The 2011 healthcare facility dividend is a continuation of last year's dividend and reflects the company's positive past performance. The funds used for the dividend were originally allocated to pay forecasted claims, but actual costs were less than anticipated. Additionally, the expertise of the company's claim staff and the company's commitment to helping policyholders focus on patient safety through risk management contributed to this outcome. Qualified policyholders will receive the dividend beginning on September 1, 2011.
The decision to maintain the same base rates was reached after careful analysis by the company's actuarial staff and external consultants revealed lower loss and allocated loss adjustment expense severity than was estimated.
