1 Midwifery Practice Insurance Program Midwives Association of British Columbia Prepared by: Lee Fulsher, BA, CAIB Account Manager Direct Line: November 13, 2015

2 HOW DOES THE PROGRAM WORK? The program is intended to cover the Physical Property and Commercial General Liability of MABC members operating, or working out of, a Midwifery Practice. To apply for coverage on the program MABC members will be required to complete a 1-page insurance application and submit it to Shaw Sabey & Associates Ltd. for approval and binding. A Midwifery Practice Insurance Policy will be issued to the MABC member(s) as evidence of coverage for participating within the program. Premiums are paid directly to Shaw Sabey & Associates Ltd. by participating members. The Program will be based on a Master Policy with specific coverages and rates. Members will be able to choose to tailor their Practices coverage based on their own circumstances and coverage requirements over and above the base coverages set. 2
