Medical Mutual Liability Insurance Society of Maryland is a doctor/policyholder owned medical malpractice insurer. Established in 1975 by the Maryland State Assembly, it is the largest provider of medical malpractice insurance for Maryland doctors. In 2010, Medical Mutual wrote about 44 percent of all malpractice insurance policies in Maryland. Medical Mutual is based in Hunt Valley, MD. According to its financial reports, Med Mutual is doing quite well and paying back doctors a significant portion of the malpractice premiums they pay. More signs of good times for Medical Mutual: it has proposed a rate increase for 2012. So much for the big malpractice lawsuit crisis.
On its website, Medical Mutual has this quote from a doctor: "I was very concerned that
Med Mutual would decide
that it was cheaper to settle
the nonsense case than
defend it. I was very grateful
that they understand a
doctor’s reputation is valuable!" This is actually largely true. Medical Mutual does not focus on the cost of defending a malpractice lawsuit. But while it does refuse settlement in some cases and, as a result, gets hit with large verdicts, Med Mutual is also often willing to settle medical malpractice lawsuits that really should be settled.
