Malpractice Insurance for Williamson County EMS

Information

Agenda Item

Discuss, consider and take any appropriate action regarding approval of specific malpractice insurance coverage for Williamson County EMS from Extraco-Banks Insurance.

Background

The county has repeatedly attempted a bidding process for malpractice insurance in the past; however, Extraco-Banks has traditionally been the sole bidder. Using quotes, Extraco-Banks is once again the lowest premium quote with the broadest categories of coverage. There are numerous factors indicating that the benefits outweigh the risks of the county being self-insured with regard to EMS workers. As a result, the recommendation is to accept the coverage quoted for FY2015 by Extraco-Banks for EMS workers
