KaMMCO Announces Dividend and Reduction in 2012 Premium Rates

The KaMMCO Board of Directors has approved a 5 percent dividend for members who were insured with KaMMCO as of September 23, 2011. The dividend will be based upon the 2011 premium paid. In conjunction with the news of a dividend, the KaMMCO Board also announced a 12 percent reduction in premium rates for Kansas and Missouri physicians and surgeons for policies issued or renewed on and after January 1, 2012. Kansas hospital premiums will remain unchanged for the fourth consecutive year.

“Decisions such as these are made in consideration of the excellent claims experience of KaMMCO members,” said Don Hatton, MD, KaMMCO Chairman of the Board. “Our members can take comfort in knowing KaMMCO continues to be financially secure and that priorities are in the right place—setting the standards for protection and advocacy.”

Kansas and Missouri physicians and surgeons should look to their 2012 premium quotation to see the 5 percent dividend applied in the form of a premium credit toward the 2012 policy renewal. Kansas hospitals will either receive a check or a premium credit applied to the next renewal year based upon policy renewal date.

Member insureds’ premium renewal notifications have been mailed. Upon completion and return of the application, the KaMMCO Underwriting Department will prepare the 2012 premium quotation and mail it to each insured.

For questions, please contact the KaMMCO Underwriting Department at 800.232.2259.
