MagMutual Insurance Co. today announced the launch of MyDefense, which the company describes as a new model in malpractice defense that integrates legal, analytical and emotional support to provide comprehensive protection for healthcare providers facing malpractice claims.

"We built MyDefense to go beyond legal representation," said Neil Morrell, CEO of MagMutual. "Our policy owners now have a team that delivers full-spectrum support from the moment a claim is filed."

To ensure optimal outcomes and a better experience, seven specialized disciplines will be used going forward. These include jury consultants, communication experts, psychologists, data scientists, negotiation strategists and emotional support specialists involved in every claim—delivered through professional analysts who work in tandem with MagMutual's attorneys and outside counsel.

"MyDefense equips providers with resources that go beyond what any other insurer can offer," said William S. Kanich, MD, JD, Executive Chairperson.
