Alert: Premium Relief
NCMIC is offering billing support for those policyholders who have been impacted by efforts to reduce the spread of COVID-19. We are also continuing to monitor directives from State Departments of Insurance that may provide additional options to assist those who have been impacted by recent events. If you would like to speak with an NCMIC representative, please contact us at 1-800-247-8043.
Coronavirus and its effect on our day-to-day activities continues to evolve rapidly. From how to talk to patients who want to cancel appointments to a sharable flyer for your office, we’ve developed a number of resources to help you handle the impact on your practice, staff and patients.
