> Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) Managed-care insurers — known generally as HMOs — use a primary care physician as a gatekeeper to screen patients and see that appropriate treatment takes place at the lowest level possible. In order to see a specialist or receive specialized care, patients must see the gatekeeper physician first and be referred on.
> Professional liability Often called “malpractice insurance” or “errors and omissions coverage,” these policies protect professionals such as accountants, lawyers, doctors, dentists, pharmacists, insurance brokers and agents, and consultants, for negligence that injures their clients.
> Stand-Alone Prescription This plan type provides prescription-drug coverage, which generally means the insured person can obtain prescription drugs at a set price of a few dollars, but does not include any other coverage.
Mass Mutual Life Insurance Company Establishes Major Aid Program
(Springfield, Mass.) - MassMutual Financial Group announced today a major relief effort designed to aid victims of Hurricane Katrina. Among the key provisions: Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (MassMutual) will make a $250,000 donation to the American Red Cross to aid efforts to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina, and will significantly and temporarily expand its employee matching gift program to enable eligible employees and sales representatives to have their donations to the American Red Cross and the Salvation Army double matched by the company.
In addition to the donation to the American Red Cross, MassMutual's employee matching gift program has been expanded to allow MassMutual to match employee contributions to the American Red Cross and the Salvation Army on a 2-for-1 basis. For example, for every dollar sent by MassMutual employees to the American Red Cross or Salvation Army, MassMutual will match that gift with $2. This program will continue for the next 60 days.
