Are you familiar with the online resources available to MLMIC’s dentist policyholders? In addition to MLMIC’s unparalleled personal service, we aim to provide our insureds easy access to online resources, at your convenience, any time of day. Please take some time to visit us online and share your feedback.

Dentist Resource Page

Access our blog and other publications, tap into our risk management insights, and request an insurance document (e.g., certificate of insurance, claims history or declarations page) or obtain premium payment information on our Resources page. Additionally, our “Risk Management Tips” will provide important advice to help reduce the number and severity of claims.

Policyholders can also view a selection of the most commonly asked practice-related questions in our “Dental Malpractice FAQs,” including: (1) What exactly should be documented in the dental record? (2) Should my treatment plan be in writing? (3) How long must I retain dental records? Answers to these and some of the most frequently asked questions from our dental policyholders are now at your fingertips.

Should you need a certificate of insurance, claims history, or declarations page, you will find the necessary form request in “Resources.” If you do not have access to a scanner or fax machine, no problem. You can take a picture of the executed form with your mobile device and email the information to us. It is that simple.
