Practice Owners

Our Practice Indemnity Policy is designed to complement an MDA National Member’s own Professional Indemnity Insurance Policy. Our Policy can provide you with peace of mind that the liabilities of the insured business (the practice entity) and your employees are protected in the event of a medico-legal matter, claim or complaint against the entity or the employee.
