What is the mmpo’s role and responsibilities?

This part is important and needs to be clearly understood. (Please also refer to the disclaimer statement detailed below.)

  • The insurance policy is ultimately between the insurance company and the individual midwife.
  • The insurance brokers will be responsible for the handling and managing of any claims with the insurance company on the midwife’s behalf.

The mmpo is responsible for the following only;

  • Collecting individual midwife premiums and making payment of the total group premium to the insurance company.
  • Once the claim has been accepted, the insurer will pass on the approved claim monies less any excess direct to the midwife.

The mmpo will also provide access to and maintain a way for midwives to record and submit a claim. This will be a digital interface whereby the mmpo connect the midwife with the insurance broker directly.

The mmpo will not be involved in any discussions (including advice) with any midwife about any claim in process, accepted or rejected, as these discussions will solely be between the midwife and their designated insurance broker.
