• A claim file that will be in audit condition. The claim file will be complete, easy to read, and contain all information critical to the insured, excess insurers, actuaries and independent auditors.

• Statistical reporting that separates medical malpractice from general liability, automobile and other liability exposures.
• Direct defense attorneys and control legal fees. HCM recognizes the critical role a defense attorney has in any medical malpractice case that has been litigated. HCM also acknowledges that any institute or group that carries a large self-insured retention needs an independent third party to monitor legal expense. HCM has a litigation management protocol designed for medical malpractice.
• Manage the overall settlement process. This will include the participation of the excess carrier, defense attorney, plaintiff’s attorney and the insured to get the best result.
• A true understanding of medical malpractice claim handling. Illinois and other states in the Midwest offer some of the most volatile and challenging jurisdictions in the United States. Verdict potentials in excess of eight figures are commonplace. HCM is capable of the professional claim management necessary to assist the insured in achieving its financial objectives.
