MagMutual

What MagMutual does

MagMutual is a policyholder-owned mutual insurance company headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, founded in 1982 by physicians to provide medical professional liability (MPL) insurance to U.S. healthcare providers. The company has grown into the largest mutual medical professional liability carrier in the United States, serving over 50,000 physicians and healthcare organizations across all states except New York, with an A.M. Best A (Excellent) financial strength rating. MagMutual's core product is medical professional liability coverage, which bundles cyber and regulatory liability protection and is augmented by add-ons for management liability, hospital professional liability, and workers' compensation. The company complements its insurance products with an integrated service platform organized around three pillars: MyAdvice (data-driven risk consultancy using a proprietary 500,000+ claim dataset), MyDefense (comprehensive malpractice defense integrating legal, psychological, analytical, and emotional support, led by a Chief Defense Officer appointed January 2026), and Ownership Rewards (a mutual-owner dividend and Owners Circle loyalty program with 27 consecutive years of dividends and over $495M returned to PolicyOwners since inception).

The company operates a multi-channel distribution model combining regional field offices (Atlanta HQ, Charlotte, Raleigh, Columbia, Louisville, Charleston, plus a Midwest region), an online self-serve quoting platform, agent partnerships, and an exclusive underwriting relationship with Ryan Specialty's Sapphire Blue for senior living facilities. A dedicated Capital Solutions team and the OURCell PCC captive insurance subsidiary serve large healthcare organizations with complex risk structures. The business model is subscription/recurring premium-based, with quote-based pricing varying by specialty, state, and coverage limits, billed quarterly or annually. MagMutual generates revenue through core MPL premiums, supplementary insurance products, and alternative risk/managed services for complex accounts.

Strategic expansion has been pursued through a combination of organic geographic build-out, M&A (Tift Area Captive in 2016, West Virginia Mutual Insurance Company in 2020, MDAdvantage Insurance Company of New Jersey in 2023), and strategic partnerships (notably the first-ever Wolters Kluwer UpToDate integration with an insurance carrier, providing policyholders evidence-based clinical decision support). The company has launched MyAdvice (October 2025) and MyDefense (November 2025) as next-generation service platforms, supported by the OneModel risk visualization tool. MagMutual operates through multiple wholly-owned subsidiaries spanning insurance underwriting (Professional Security Insurance Company, South Carolina Physician Assurance Company, West Virginia Mutual Insurance Company, MDAdvantage), distribution (MagMutual Placement Services, MagMutual Financial Services, Select Professional Underwriters), risk management (OURCell PCC, MagMutual Insurance Agency, The Institute at MagMutual, MAG Mutual Patient Safety Institute), and the MagMutual Foundation. A $100M securities offering in May 2021 has provided growth capital.
