> Earthquake coverage Quake coverage is available as additional coverage to standard commercial property and casualty policies. Earthquake coverage is available throughout Washington state, although it is relatively expensive for masonry structures and business operations with high-risk inventory or equipment.
> 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.
> Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) PPOs are comparable to indemnity plans, although they require subscribers to choose their health-care providers and health-care facilities from a preferred-provider list. Because the preferred providers have agreed to the plan's requirements, including discounted fees, subscribers have a financial incentive to stay within the network.
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.
