How NCMIC Works?
NCMIC gives malpractice insurance. This is a special kind of coverage. It helps if a patient sues.
A patient might say a treatment hurt them. Or they might say the chiropractor made a mistake. Malpractice insurance pays for legal costs.
It also pays for settlements (money given to the patient). Or it pays court judgments (money the court says to pay).
NCMIC makes its policies for chiropractors. It covers risks like spinal adjustments. It also covers soft tissue injuries.
NCMIC also offers business insurance. This can cover accidents in the clinic. It can also cover damage to the office.
NCMIC has tools to help avoid problems. These include online classes and live talks. They teach safe ways to work.
