Home > Leadership > Claims Committees
In the summer of 1982, MAG Mutual formed its first Physician Claims Committee. The committee’s primary goal was to help the company claims staff aggressively defend physicians and manage claims.
Dr. Roy Vandiver, our Chairman of the Board explains, “From the very beginning, our physician leadership decided to do everything possible to defend our policyholders. These physicians’ reputations and careers are on the line, of course, but they are also our friends, neighbors and colleagues. That sentiment is reflected in every decision we make.”
Matt Mitcham, Senior VP of Claims: “We’re recognized as one of a few medical liability insurers to provide local, experienced and superior claims management and legal defense. Our defense process really puts our physicians first.”
Your Claims Committees are pictured below. You may recognize a name or face. We invite you to get to know them. They are here to help defend you.
