Are you aware that the SCDA Member Benefits Group, wholly owned by the SCDA, may no longer be the agent of record for your professional liability insurance?
From time to time we receive calls from member dentists inquiring about their liability/malpractice insurance who are not aware their coverage has been moved to a different agency. If you are not sure, please check the declarations page of your professional liability policy to confirm the SCDA Member Benefits Group appears as your designated agent.
We work with only two carriers for numerous reasons, some of which I will shortly detail for you, but none of which are more important than the fact that fellow SCDA members sit on their respective boards. You can practice your profession while knowing that protecting your best interest is at the heart of your insurance carrier's mission. If that is not enough, here are a few other reasons pertaining to our partnership with the SC Joint Underwriting Association:
ü They have won over 90% of their cases that have gone to trial.
ü They have closed more claims without payment than any other carrier in SC.
ü They have successfully defended more SC medical professionals than any other carrier in SC.
ü They have been operating in our great state for over 35 consecutive years.
ü They are the only carrier endorsed by all 3 of the leading medical/dental professional associations in SC.
ü They offer both claims-made and occurrence policies.
ü Finally, the commission dollars come back to your association instead of the pocket of some outside agency.
If you are unaware if this critical coverage is still being provided to you through the SCDA, or if you would like to discuss returning to the SCDA for any other reason, please contact Deanna Slomzenski in our office today at 1-800-327-2598 or via e-mail at ski@scda.org.
