Joplin Tornado Victims Helped by Medicus Insurance Company, The Keane Insurance Group and Cornerstone Physicians Management, LLC

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Medicus Insurance Company, one of the fastest growing medical professional liability insurance (MPLI) carriers in the country, The Keane Insurance Group and Cornerstone Physicians Management, LLC expedited MPLI insurance coverage for emergency room doctors wanting to help tornado victims in Joplin, Missouri.

The Keane Insurance Group, an independent insurance agency specializing in MPLI, got a call from Stacie Brane at Cornerstone Physicians Management, requesting assistance to get their physicians credentialed to help provide care in Joplin. Cornerstone Physicians management is a group of emergency room doctors headquartered in Joplin that staff hospitals in Missouri.

Keane then worked with John Flanagan of Medicus and a team of Medicus underwriters including Pat Pecanty, Lauren Price and Kristen Smith to quickly get the emergency room physicians covered. These doctors wanted to help Joplin residents in this time of great need. The doctors required insurance coverage in a hurry.

Keane contacted Flanagan who called his Medicus underwriters. Medicus immediately began the process of covering these doctors who are now helping tornado victims in several area hospitals that picked up the overflow of care left in the wake of the tornado’s damage to St. John’s Hospital in Joplin. Eugenie Shea, president of Medicus, said, “Like all of America, the Medicus family is with our fellow citizens in Joplin and elsewhere—all who were affected by this terrible storm. We are grateful we could help in this small and meaningful way.”
