Professional Liability Insurance – The Midwife Plan
NACPM members will receive a 10% premium credit on professional liability insurance policies, underwritten by MedPro Group and purchased through Southern Cross Insurance Solutions, a woman owned business. Ann Geisler, President, is a regular attendee at midwifery conferences and has personally stepped up to support the establishment of NACPM state chapters by offering $500 seed money to each newly formed chapter. Now she has taken another step by offering this 10% premium credit to NACPM members.
“Southern Cross Insurance Solutions will work with you to understand your business and then provide comprehensive and competitive policies. We pride ourselves on identifying superior companies that provide excellent policy services, risk management, and claims capabilities. The Midwife Plan can be individual or group coverage, configured to meet the specific needs of your practice.” The Midwife Plan is an Allied Healthcare Professional and General Liability Insurance policy designed specifically for Out Of Hospital (OOH) Midwives and Birth Center Practices. For more information about this policy or the other insurance products available, call (888) 9853542 or contact Ann Geisler at ageisler@southerncrossins.com.
Journal of Midwifery and Women’s Health
NACPM is excited to offer as a benefit of membership a $90 discount on the Journal of Midwifery & Women’s Health, the official journal of the American College of Nurse Midwives. This peer-reviewed journal publishes current research with a focus on evidence-based practice, promoting women’s and infants’ health, and excellence in midwifery. Their work is increasingly relevant to Certified Professional Midwives. In addition to publishing a number of CPM-authored articles, in 2015 the JMWH has explored specific topics such as out-of-hospital birth, noninvasive prenatal testing, and interprofessional collaboration.
