Modern Strengths of MACM
Founded in 1976 in response to a medical malpractice crisis in Mississippi, the Medical Assurance Company of Mississippi (MACM) was created by physicians for physicians. At a time when many healthcare providers couldn’t obtain malpractice coverage, Mississippi physicians united to establish a company that would protect their profession and ensure access to reliable, physician-focused liability insurance.
Nearly 50 years later, MACM remains committed to its founding mission while continuously evolving to meet the modern challenges of healthcare and risk management. Today, MACM is the trusted partner of nearly 2500 Mississippi physicians, offering industry-leading protection, proactive risk management strategies, and unmatched claims support.
Physician-Led, Mississippi-Focused
What sets MACM apart is its physician-driven approach. The company is led by practicing Mississippi physicians who understand the unique challenges of the state’s healthcare and legal landscape. Decisions are made by those who truly understand what it means to practice medicine in Mississippi, ensuring that insureds receive the best possible support and advocacy.
Financial Strength & Stability
MACM remains financially strong, consistently earning an A (Excellent) rating from A.M. Best, a testament to its sound financial management, conservative reserving philosophy, and dominant market position. Unlike publicly traded insurers, MACM is not driven by shareholder profits. Instead, its focus remains on long-term stability, ensuring that Mississippi’s physicians have reliable, affordable coverage when they need it most.
Beyond Insurance: A Commitment to Risk Management
In today’s rapidly changing healthcare environment, MACM goes beyond traditional insurance by providing advanced risk management tools, physician education, and proactive litigation strategies. By investing in technology, data-driven underwriting, MACM helps physicians mitigate risk, improve patient safety, and navigate an increasingly complex regulatory environment.
