The Risk Management and Patient Safety Department at LAMMICO includes certified risk managers who help you reduce your risk exposure in your practice and improve your defensibility. They will visit your office, evaluate key risk areas and provide tailored recommendations.

LAMMICO’s certified risk managers are available during regular business hours to answer your or your office personnel’s questions concerning medical records, informed consent, patient dismissal, documentation and other topics. Please contact the LAMMICO Risk Management and Patient Safety Department at 504.841.5211 or 800.452.2120 to speak to the Risk Manager on call.

Courses targeted to medical office staff are available on Medical Interactive Community (MI) website. In addition, LAMMICO’s Risk Managers offer educational in-service presentations and webinars to LAMMICO policyholders and their office staff. These presentations are based on data from assessments, along with the real world experience of our Risk Managers. 

Please register and/or log in to visit MI as a qualified office manager.
